About the Concert

Who is Zarathustra, actually? What does he want to tell us? And above all: Why? Questions upon questions arise with this mysterious work, of which everyone only knows the first few notes from cinema and advertising. Malte is certainly on the quest for well-founded answers. Tip for this concert: The orchestra will perform in a large, truly very large ensemble. Furthermore, on this day, a star will be present with the organ in the Culture Palace: the queen of instruments!<br><br>Classes 7-10<br>
