The 14th Freiburg Children's Music Festival takes place from July 8 to 14. Six Freiburg schools will put their desks aside and instead focus on sound experiments and artistic-aesthetic experiences. From their own voices to different instruments and various ambient sounds to professional radio play recordings, pupils experiment together with professional musicians in "klonglabors". The research results will be presented on July 14 at the finale in Theater Freiburg. The presentations of the klonglabs will be flanked by the Philharmonic Orchestra and smaller hands-on activities on site. Admission is free.
The festival kicks off with the music school festival at the music school on 22.06.2024. Children and adults alike can pick up the keys, pluck the strings and bang the drums, as there are instruments to try out in every room. There will also be small concerts.
From 8 - 12.07.2024, the popular klonglabore will take place at various Freiburg schools, where music is the only thing on the timetable for a week, when professional Freiburg musicians come into the classes and go on a week-long musical journey of discovery with the pupils. The format is organized by the MEHRKLANG association, which cooperates closely with the Department of Culture.
The finale of klong is the Kindermusikfest at Theater Freiburg on Sunday, 14.07.2024, where the school classes will give an insight into their klonglabs in front of a large audience on the theater's stages. The Theater Freiburg Philharmonic Orchestra and other musicians will also be on stage to play for audiences of all ages. Instruments can be tried out, hands-on activities invite you to experiment with music and there will be listening, crafting and singing.
