About the Concert

This time it’s going to be “animalistic” at the Kulturpalast – almost like at the zoo. First, Darius Milhaud presents a lively Brazilian rhythm with an ox on the roof (“Le bœuf sur le toit”). Then we move on to the lions and chickens, the donkey and the turtles, continuing to the swan and finally to the fossils and the aquarium. With his “Carnival of the Animals,” the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns has created a colourful play for the whole family, combining amusing and thought-provoking melodies. But there is also a lot of musical irony, as Malte will demonstrate. Laughter is definitely encouraged!
