Family concert with the percussion ensemble of the Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne – listen, marvel and join in for Cologne and the whole family

What does Cologne sound like? Peter, Uwe, Lukas and Alex – four percussionists from the Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne – invite you on a melodious journey through their exciting world of instruments and bring Cologne's favourite places to life in the Philharmonie. Dancing the ‘Can Can’ across Offenbachplatz, they make their way to the Rhine, into the rhythmically beating engine room of a ship and on to a cosy brewery: using their hands, feet and all kinds of everyday objects, the percussionists make the table and their surroundings sing. The four musicians demonstrate that Cologne and music are international with ‘Ghanaia’ – a tribute to the rhythms of Ghana for marimba and percussion trio. And when ‘et Trömmelche jeit’ comes around, everyone is invited to sing along!
