Who's in Charge Here? A Family Concert Full of Sound, Questions, and Surprises
On Sunday, November 15, 2026, the Orchestra of the State Government Düsseldorf invites you to a family concert at the Tonhalle Düsseldorf. Under the title Who's in Charge Here?, music is vivid, entertaining, and immediately experienceable: What does a conductor actually do when there are no musicians present? Why do some instruments shine while others appear dull?
When the Baton Tells Stories
The focus is on the encounter with the orchestra and its language of sound. The conducting connects individual voices into a shared musical breath. In the live atmosphere of the Tonhalle, families experience how rhythm, dynamics, and synchronization create a cohesive whole.
From Pizzicato to Grand Fanfare
The program features Johann Strauss' Pizzicato Polka, Dmitri Shostakovich's Jazz Suite No. 2, and Aaron Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man. The repertoire ranges from buoyant string sounds to distinct jazz colors to powerful brass sounds. The musical direction is taken by Enrique Carlsson.
Discovering Music with Open Ears
The family concert is aimed at children and teenagers, as well as adults who want to discover orchestral instruments and stage performance up close. Acoustics, lighting, and audience mood combine to create a concert experience that conveys classical music in an understandable and sensual way.
