About the Concert

Being cheeky has consequences: The farmer's boy Nils is one day transformed into a tiny Thumbelina! But instead of despairing, he bravely embarks on an extraordinary journey. Together with the young gander Martin and a flock of wild geese, he flies across Sweden, experiences exciting adventures, and discovers how much can be achieved when one sticks together and helps others. A imaginative school concert full of music, courage, and great emotions – to cheer for and marvel at for young and old alike! <br>

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.
