About the Concert

For many, Prokofiev's fairy tale is the ultimate musical childhood memory. Whether the bassoon as the grandfather or the oboe as the voice of the duck leaves a stronger impression - for children, a performance of this classic is usually unforgettable, and in this concert they can even experience the instruments right in the middle of the orchestra, as the audience sits directly among the musicians on stage.
