For preschools and schools

Music workshops for all curious pre-school children (and others) and for the adults accompanying them. Our experienced and friendly lecturers Lucie Hlavičková, Olga Kozánková, and Jan Kyjovský reveal secret musical treasures to the children and introduce them to the musicians and their instruments. Join us on an adventure to discover the world of music.

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. Come with us to a chamber concert of Antonín Dvořák’s music. Where are we going? As far as America. How are we travelling? With Dvořák’s favourite means of transport of course. Who is coming with us? The Norbert Quartet, real musical experts.

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 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!

Your are cordially invited to participate in the next season of the Through Music to Ourselves project for classes that want to get even closer to music. The guides are Ondřej Tichý and other musicians

Together with actress Martha Issová, we will venture into the realm of musical wonders and the world of Jaroslav Ježek. In a new programme we will commemorate the 120th anniversary of the birth of this composer, conductor and pianist. You will also be welcomed by the trombone and tuba section of the Czech Philharmonic - Deep Brass Association.

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.

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.

Undoubtedly one of the most elegant, golden and oldest instruments of the orchestra. But is it even possible to know all those strings? One of our most famous harpists, Jana Boušková, will reveal how to live with the harp and travel around the world. And maybe she'll play the harp with a ruler.

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.

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?

Time is speeding up. Artificial intelligence is no longer just science fiction. Get ready for a daring breakthrough in the music world - the concert iPhilharmonic, where orchestral musicians will be led not by a robitic hand with a baton, but directly by an interactive application. We'll show you that music is just as powerful as algorithms.

Concerts in the "Steps" series are journeys of discovery. We often try to get into composers' heads to see how they were thinking when writing music and where the important crossroads are that were decisive for how the work turned out. Above all, we discover the music itself and our relationship with it: what speaks to us and why we like it.

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.

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.
