Till Eulenspiegel
for Kids

Alain Altinoglu

Meet Tyl Ulenspiegel, the greatest scoundrel in the history of music – indeed, in history! Can you hear how up-beat he is in the horns? Can you hear his roguish laugh in the clarinet? He plays prank after prank with the stately violas, the serious bassoons and the sweet violins. But where will it all end?

Once every season our Music Director Alain Altinoglu turns his attention to the youngest classical music public in an extraordinary family concert. His impassioned conducting and animated storytelling always make for a memorable experience. This time he and his Dutch-speaking sidekick Filip Jordens have chosen Strauss’ symphonic poem Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche. Whether it’s a first step into the symphonic repertoire or a rediscovery of this amusing musical story, it will definitely be a big adventure!
