FRAMEWORK PROGRAM - learn with all your senses!
Having fun together, getting to know each other, making contacts, exchanging ideas - that's what a competition should offer!
"Take a good look around you in life", Robert Schumann urged in his "Musical Rules of House and Life". Attractive and exciting activities in and around Kronberg
show how important togetherness is for comprehensive
personal development.
Our free and exciting supporting program during the three days of the competition gives the children and young people who are so committed to their participation, who play music with passion, heart and soul and thus contribute to the success of the competition, plenty of opportunity to do so.
For this purpose we cooperate with
- Body percussion, Richart Filz, https://rhythm-one.com/
- Clavina Music School, https://www.clavina.de/freiluftklavier/
- Kronberg Castle, https://www.burgkronberg.de/kinder-auf-der-burg/
- The Opel Zoo, https://www.opel-zoo.de/
- The Rhine-Main-Therme, https://www.rhein-main-therme.de/
With the admission to the competition, we will inform you about the details of the activities on offer and look forward to your active participation!
Have fun!
HIGHLIGHT!
As a unique and special highlight, several 60-minute "body percussion" workshops will be offered on the days of the competition, in which the young talents in the group will be given a completely different approach to music and rhythm. Body percussion means using your own body to produce sound and make music. This is not only a lot of fun, but also promotes musical development in a very special way.
We are very pleased that we were able to win the renowned percussionist Richard Filz from Austria to give the young pianists of our competition an unforgettable experience with his workshops.
