For Seniors

Travel Concerts for Seniors

The Gürzenich Orchestra plays music for everyone, including those who can no longer attend regular concerts. With its chamber ensembles, the orchestra travels to various neighborhoods in Cologne to perform concerts in senior living facilities. Just as varied as the ensemble configurations are the concert programs. The musicians play classical works from their favorite repertoire and sing along with the audience.
