Offers for children, young people and families

Music connects people – right from the start. The Kölner Philharmonie's family programmes invite children, young people, parents and grandparents to experience music together: up close in the neighbourhood, curiously in the concert hall or creatively in workshops. Whether listening for the first time, joining in or simply marvelling – here, music becomes an experience for all generations.

Music up close: PhilharmonieVeedel

With PhilharmonieVeedel, the Kölner Philharmonie brings music to where families live – right into the heart of the neighbourhood, the Veedel. In small, lovingly designed concerts, even the youngest children can experience classical music up close.

The concerts take place in familiar surroundings – in daycare centres, community centres or neighbourhood meeting places – and create space for shared listening, wonder and first musical adventures.
