Family concerts
One hour of music for children aged 7 and over
Fun and colourful, our Family Concerts are the perfect introduction to symphony concerts. From classical hits to the most dazzling surprises, the OSR gives you the magical experience of listening to an orchestra for one hour under the Victoria Hall's golden roof.
Season 2024-25
Family season tickets are now available!
From John Williams to Antonio Vivaldi, from Vienna to Buenos Aires, the 2024-2025 Family Concerts programme opens up a world of possibilities!
Take the time to discover our artist in residence for the season, Valentine Michaud, in an intoxicating programme for full orchestra conducted by Jonathan Nott (23.11). Then sing at the top of your lungs a cocktail of songs of all kinds with hundreds of teenagers carried by the OSR in a festive, rhythmic atmosphere (14.12) before inaugurating 2025 in the most beautiful of ways, with feathers and rhinestones around marches, polkas, waltzes and other New Year's dances (21.01). Then travel to South America to discover the last secrets of the saxophone family, through a story specially imagined for the occasion (22.03) and finally, visit the most famous of Venetian monuments, exactly 300 years after its publication, under the enchanting colours of Sandra Albukrek (14.06).
Add New Year's Ball to your subscription as the 5th concert in our Family+ series and let yourself be transported by maestro Philippe Béran, the OSR and the Orchestre du Collège de Genève.
