Drum, Moon and Stars: Jena's Family Concert Takes Off Musically

Into Musical Outer Space with Drum, Moon and Stars

On Saturday, November 14, 2026, the town hall hall of the Historic Town Hall in Jena transforms into an imaginative launch base for families. At Family Chamber Concert № 1 »Drum, Moon and Stars«, children aged 4 to 8 discover classical music playfully, interactively, and up close with the musicians.

A Concert that Engages Children

Here, the audience does not remain at a distance: children experience the musical event directly on mats, chairs, or in their parents' laps. Child-friendly moderation, movement, and participation opportunities open the way to music and create a lively live atmosphere where listening and experimenting intertwine.

Improvisation among Stardust and Alien Planets

The musical journey begins with a countdown and leads to unknown landscapes, mysterious beings, and an alien language. How does a crew communicate with extraterrestrials? Voices, hands, feet, and instruments become tools of communication. From the ideas of the children, from movement and improvisation, a musical story unfolds that exists in this form only during this concert experience.

Drums, Flute, Double Bass, and Synthesizer as Stage Crew

Barnabás Fekete on drums, Veronika Kinnunen on flute, Alexander Brühl on double bass, and Tilman Wölz on piano and synthesizer create a spacey soundtrack with chamber music finesse. The instruments not only accompany the action but also become characters and sound objects themselves. Between percussive impulses, flowing flute lines, deep double bass colors, and electronic soundscapes, a versatile orchestration emerges for young ears.

Music Communication with Imagination and Proximity

Beate Bachmann serves as the moderator guiding through the adventure, combining musical expertise with an understandable, playful approach. The audience's mood grows from shared discoveries: every sound can be a signal, every movement a new idea, and every reaction from the children a prompt for the stage performance.

Conclusion: A Family Concert for Takeoff

»Drum, Moon and Stars« combines classical music, chamber music, improvisation, and interactive play into a special family afternoon. Those who want to experience music not just through hearing but with all senses will find a close concert experience full of surprises at the Town Hall Hall in Jena. Buckle up, tune your ears, and take off together.
