Since October 2023, the "Adventure Music" project has been bringing children, educational professionals and musicians together - with the aim of anchoring music sustainably in the everyday life of daycare centres and opening young ears to the world of sound.

An experienced music teacher has visited various FRÖBEL childcare centres in the east of Cologne in four successful rounds so far. There, she has designed interactive workshops for children and professionals in which they sing, make music and improvise together. The units are based on the content of the PhilharmonieVeedel concert, which everyone attends together. Together with the music teacher, a musician from the band or ensemble also visits the daycare centres and together they create playful approaches to musical forms of expression.

The project not only promotes the musical development of the children, but also strengthens the music education skills of the professionals, who, thanks to the pedagogical implementation by the Netzwerk Kitamusik NRW, receive impulses on how they can permanently integrate music into their everyday daycare centre life. "The content is of a very high quality and very well communicated. You get a great desire for music in the daycare centre." (Participating specialist)

Adventure Music shows: Music unites - with great enthusiasm and many creative ideas, children and adults experience together how enriching music can be in everyday daycare centre life.

The project was successfully implemented in the context of the following Veedel concerts:
"Jolli sieht grün" with the Jolli Band in October 2023 was all about story songs about people and the environment. This was followed in April 2024 by "Märchen vom 1008-Füßler", a story about friendship with Latin American music by Barquito de Papel. In autumn 2024, the Filippa Gojo Quartet invited the audience into the world of jazz music with "Oh Pannenbaum - ein fast perfektes Winterkonzert" and in June 2025, things got magical when Catherine Klipfel on the piano and Gillian Lampater on the flute whisked the audience away into the world of Modest Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition".
