The Family Series is the perfect way to introduce symphonic music to your children or grandchildren.

The Family series is the perfect way to introduce your children or grandchildren to symphonic music. Or join them in enjoying the riches of classical music. Following an enjoyable and captivating Dutch-language introduction, you and your child or grandchild can sit together on stage, near the orchestra, with a good view of the conductor. And then the concert begins…

A sultry summer night: fairies dancing in the forest, exotic creatures wandering past: Felix Mendelssohn was able to conjure it all up with his music – when he was just seventeen. Iván Fischer will also conduct dreamlike fairytale music by three French sound wizards: Debussy, Satie, and Ravel.

The Finn Santtu-Matias Rouvali will introduce youngsters to the music of Schubert and the French nineteenth-century composer, Louise Farrenc, as well as the fantastic pianist Seong-Jin Cho. Conductor Emmanuelle Haïm will take us further back in time with festive music from 300 years ago. Including Handel's Water Music, written for a party given by King George I of England. Handel's music was performed by musicians sailing down the Thames in a boat; it became an instant hit, and it remains a perennial audience favourite.
