Planet – Orchestra

Why does a symphony orchestra need a conductor? How do the orchestra members feel during a concert? Why are the instruments called French horns placed in the last rows of the orchestra? Can I conduct?

In this fun and educational programme, you will expand your knowledge of instruments, orchestra, works and hear interesting stories from the performers’ lives. You will learn about the ethics of orchestra members, their specific language, how they clap when their hands are full, what the wind players do during pauses... You will see many musical instruments up close, and the most curious and adventurous of you will even have the chance to conduct the orchestra!
