Together, we will go through the winter, from the Feast of St Martin until Shrove Tuesday. We'll recall the traditions that belong to the season.
"Do you know that some instruments are made of wood, while others are made of metal? And that the metal ones are called the brass instruments? And what happens if people who play these instruments lose their front teeth? So how about coming to explore some brass instruments? Come to the Rudolfinum for a fairy tale about the animals and the robbers.
We will introduce the family of string instruments. They go together, but each is a bit different. Mom and dad – the bass and the cello, and the children – violin and viola. Like in any family, they play together, but they can also get quite cross with each other. And they enjoy sweets together. Will we be able to solve problems and riddles and rescue Cordiera the Cook?
Playing the harp might seem simple; after all, we can play a scale with just one finger! But in reality, it’s not as easy as it might look. This royal instrument can conjure up not only lovely, heavenly tones, but also frightfully devilish sounds. We'll be convinced of this by Czech Philharmonic harpist Jana Boušková
With our guide Maestro Mouse, we're going to explore Dan Brown's lovely book Wild Symphony. We'll meet all kinds of animal musicians like the Clumsy Kittens Busy Beetles, go on a Cheetah Chase, and watch the Swans in the Mist. To Dan Brown's poems and little symphonic pieces, we'll add singing, movement, and games.
The journey can be the destination. Let's go together to a concert of chamber music by Antonín Dvořák. Where will we go? As far as America. What will we be riding? Dvořák's favourite means of transportation. Who will go with us? The Norbert Quartet - real string experts.
Spolu s herečkou Marthou Issovou a dětským pěveckým sborem Čhavorenge se vypravíme do říše divů, a to nejen těch hudebních. Nový program – podle scénáře Alice Nellis – představuje hudbu jako součást života. Budeme zjišťovat, v čem nám hudba může v životě pomáhat, v čem je její síla a hlavně... kouzlo.
Once upon a time there was a Chinese emperor who loved toys, technical novelties, machines of all kinds, and mechanical puppets. Then one day he received an unusual gift: a mechanical nightingale wound up with a key. But can it replace the lovely song of a live nightingale? And what happens if the toy breaks?
We would like to invite you to participate in the next edition of the Through Music to Ourselves project for classes that want to get even closer to music. The guide is Ondřej Tichý together with other musicians.
We wander over the mountains, across Moravia and Slovakia, to see what music dancing are like when done eagerly. We'll plunk on the cimbalom and fiund out what it's like to lead playing the violin or to accompany playing double bass or viola, and at the end, we'll dance together. What fun!
Welcome to our spaceport! Together, we are heading for the unexplored ends of the galaxy. With Antonín Dvořák’s New World Symphony, we are setting out on a long journey through space. We will experience weightlessness and will face the unexpected traps of a graphic score.
Together, let's experience a special life story. The story of a talented man that the Fates gave more than just great talent and diligence. "Much suffering and need will be your fate, but you will be strong and great. You will forget about your need, and although poor, you will give others happiness and wealth. Your work will live forever..."
How does it feel to find yourself locked up behind the bars… And all that moving! You have to be really strong to keep going! Who will be able to master a fingerboard as long as a court case? And where does walking bass come from? Philharmonic musician Adam Honzírek will strike a playful note, not afraid of even the hardest strings.
Come see and hear a remarkable number of percussion instruments! You will visit a world of traditional and exotic percussion: coconuts, gourds, and even hooves. We’ll show you the influence rhythmic accompaniments have on the sound of classical compositions, and there will also be film music.
You can't stop progress. We send emails instead of letters, read e-books instead of paper ones, and encyclopedias are just online these days. What if the virtual world arrived in museums as well? Can your team solve everything necessary in an escape game and rescue important artefacts from the life of a great composer?
Kryštof was adventurous by nature; he had to be courageous and determined when he set out on such a long journey. He also showed his courage and creativity when he came back home to this country, where he was able to win the favour of Emperor Rudolf II. Even 400 years later, we can take inspiration from this important nobleman.
Programme inspired by the life story of priest Josef Toufar, who was tortured to death by Communist State Security officers in January 1950. With the Czech Philharmonic musicians, members of the Disman Radio Children’s Ensemble and music by Slavomír Hořínka.
Again for its 21st season, we have chosem music that we like for Steps to the New World. And we believe that the young musicians from the Czech Philharmonic Youth Orchestra will play with enthusiasm and that you, our dear public, will listen with joy! Together, we will open up the scores of works by three great composers – Sergei Prokofiev, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Leoš Janáček. Motion can serve as the link tying their music together. Motion that accompanies, motion that inspires, motion that reflects music…
As part of the Music in Schools project, we make room for all those who want to make music with children at a young age. For preschool teachers, and others, we have prepared two gatherings at Rudolfinum.
