Get in, buckle up, open your ears — we’re travelling through music history!

When four brothers let loose on recorder, tuba, violin, viola, and piano, no note stays in its place. The Hanke Brothers, winners of the Opus Klassik 2024, set off on a musical journey through time: from the Big Bang and Baroque sounds to the modern beats of New Classical Music — always full of wit, imagination, and infectious joy in performance.

Whether Bach, Mozart, Saint-Saëns, or Hanke, here classical music comes alive: colourful, vivid, and surprisingly different. A concert that will delight children.

For children aged 6–12
