Concerts “A la rencontre du jeune public” (concerts for a young public). MONACO-monte-carlo
These concerts intended for the children, also allow the families and friends to discover the orchestra and the music. A format had to be found adapted to attract parents and children: the concerts take place on the Wednesday afternoon. During approximately one hour, the children (above 5 years old) discover an atmosphere of sounds and colors. Conductor and narrator will “converse” with the children, in order to link their imaginary with work presented.
