Offers for families

For many people in Cologne, a visit to the Philharmonie with the whole family is a firmly rooted annual tradition. Musical stories to listen to, marvel at, and join in make the experience a truly special one for both young and old. In the first family concert »Mit Karacho!« neighbors Wum and Bum meet the no less sonorous ladies Ding and Dong. For the first time, we are also bringing our daycare concerts to community centers throughout the city. Two violins, a viola, and a cello embark on a journey »Ab ins All« and »Gürzis neues Abenteuer« with the music mobile leads through stormy weather—and, after a breakdown, back into the basket.

Family festival

Sing mit uns!

GO-Karaoke Concert

Singing is fun – and even more so when we do it together. At the Gürzenich Orchestra’s sing-along concert, the audience becomes the choir. Whether it’s Grandma, Dad, big sister, the neighbour or your best friend – everyone is invited to join in. Harp, flute and vocals accompany well-known songs, surprising catchy tunes and simple melodies that everyone can sing along to straight away. Here, music is made actively – loud, soft, boldly or shyly – with no auditions and no fear of singing out of tune.

»Sing mit uns!« takes place as part of the Cologne Family Festival: Sing! Sing! Sing!
