Camerata & Kids «Elgar Deconstructed»
What you need to know
- Explained first, then played, so kids know what to listen for before the full performance
- Strings only, so kids hear one ensemble shift from big and powerful to quiet conversations between small groups
- Unreserved seating, so arriving a little early helps a family sit together
About
Camerata Zürich's family concert takes two string pieces apart and puts them back together. In the first part, host Evamaria Felder picks out moments from Elgar's Introduction and Allegro and van Bree's Allegro for four string quartets, showing kids what to listen for and how many voices become one sound. Then the orchestra, led by Esther Hoppe, plays both works in full. It suits kids who follow spoken German.
