Curious about classical music? Then this one-hour Family Concert is the ideal introduction! For young listeners ages five to ten accompanied by their parents or grandparents, godparents, or siblings, members of the Budapest Festival Orchestra will present a colorful bouquet of seven short chamber music works — exactly which ones is a surprise. Before each piece, Chief Conductor Iván Fischer will pick up the microphone and talk to the audience to give them some initial hints: about crazy rhythms, special timbres, or the peculiarities of an instrument. Because if you know more, you hear more. The program is age appropriate and full of variety. It introduces a range of instrumental groups and eras so that young listeners can familiarize themselves with different musical styles and get to know a wide array of instruments. And there’s another special feature: at this concert the musicians will sit in the middle, with the audience surrounding them. This means that everyone can really follow what is happening on stage.
