CHILDREN’S PROGRAMMES
This season brings a series of projects that will showcase the choir and singers in a variety of roles, offering children (and their parents) a chance to peek behind the curtain of the colorful world of choral repertoire. But don’t expect to just sit still and listen at our concerts!
Our family-friendly educational concerts are truly for the whole family – grandparents, aunts and uncles, parents, and of course, children.
We believe that just like making music, listening to it is a team experience – one that creates shared memories and builds communities. And that’s exactly what makes choral singing so uniquely powerful.
As always, we’re also preparing special concerts for schools – this time in unique venues across Prague. Churches and theaters will offer schoolchildren not only a rich atmosphere but also the joy of experiencing beautiful spaces they might not otherwise have a chance to visit.
We warmly invite all parents with little ones to enjoy a peaceful time together through well-known and lesser-known lullabies. These sessions offer not only basic educational insight into children’s sleep and bedtime rituals, but also plenty of calming melodies to help both parent and child relax and unwind.
Parents will gain inspiration for bedtime routines with lullabies from both Czech and international traditions. You can count on the gentle guidance of an experienced mother, the beautiful voices of the members of the Prague Philharmonic Choir, and the soothing touch of live instrumental accompaniment.
Music, dance, and singing are excellent tools for supporting children’s motor development. Dancing promotes coordination and balance, which are essential to physical growth. Various music-based movement activities motivate children to explore their own bodies and capabilities. Repeating song lyrics strengthens memory skills, and folk songs – with their simple rhythmic texts – are ideal for this purpose.
As children work to understand lyrics and their stories, they develop their language skills and learn to connect words with meaning. The rhythm of folk songs and rhymes helps them grasp language structure, supporting pronunciation and later reading and writing.
Musical games encourage children to explore tone, harmony, and dynamics, enhancing their auditory perception. Come and enjoy the joy of music and the freedom of movement – and join us in singing, making music, and dancing together!
