»You can instantly feel how music connects people. Every beat, every sound becomes part of something bigger – it’s an incredible feeling.«

Dana Panahi, participant in the percussion workshop

Music brings people together – especially when you make it yourself.
Whether it’s the community choir concert project, the Cologne Citizens’ Orchestra, the Citizens’ Choir or sing-along concerts: here you can become part of the sound of the Kölner Philharmonie.
