About the Concert

Erich Kästner's "The Flying Classroom" is one of the most beautiful stories about friendship, courage, and the dream of traveling to foreign lands. In our concert, you will experience individual scenes from the novel by the Dresden author, musically commented with excerpts from well-known works for orchestra. You are invited to accompany the young musicians on an exciting journey! <br>As part of the sponsorship that has been in place since 2006, the Dresden Youth Symphony Orchestra plays together with its mentors from the ranks of the Dresden Philharmonic.<br><br>Grades 1-5

Jugendsinfonieorchester am Heinrich-Schütz-Konservatorium

In the Dresdner Jugendsinfonieorchester am Heinrich Schütz Konservatorium, 64 students aged 13 to 21 play symphonic orchestral pieces in a range of styles. The aim is not to prepare for a possible future career as a musician, but to experience joy while playing, and to develop technical skills, coordination and social skills. The Dresden Philharmonic has been the youth orchestra's partner ensemble since 2006.
