Paris, five musical activities to discover with family

It is never too early to develop his musical fiber. From 3 years old, during an exhibition, a concert or a workshop, we wake up at the opera, to baroque or electronic music, to the sounds of instruments and animals.

Cricks and whales, a symphony, fables played, a monumental organ, a tuning for tuning for it, an improvised choir, impactful concerts … eclectic musical proposal, for all ages, especially the little ones.

The exhibition “Musicanimale. The great sound bestiaire” at the Philharmonie de Paris

 exhibition Musicanimal Exhibition “at the Philharmonie:” Hugh, chat guitarist “, by Alain Séchas, 1997, coll. Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art, Paris. Alain Séchas / Adagp, Paris 2022 / Florian Kleinefenn

If this exhibition, inaugurated on September 20, is not entirely intended for children (unlike the children of children – a large permanent space Dedicated to the awakening to the music of children from 4 to 10 years old), it is very pleasant to explore with the family “the great sound bestiary” proposed by “musicanimal”. Especially since a course whose plan is distributed at the entrance highlights several interactive devices, which over 6 years will be happy to manipulate, such as the calls used by hunters to imitate the song of birds.

Impressed by the costumes of animals of the enchanted flute, then by the majestic stacking deer and its alter ego living, that a video broadcast in the background captures in the mist, the little ones let themselves be lulled by The tales, the noises and the music they listen to in the envy by plugging their helmet before the work of their choice. The songs of roosters, storks and crickets, the noises of a snail eating a sheet or the forest at night sensitize them to the beauty and the fragility of the living. The song of whales that we see dancing at the bottom of the ocean amazes them. The strident and catchy air of the queen of the night, extract from the enchanted flute, aroused a passion for Mozart in a 6 year old girl. We didn’t ask for so much! In addition to the visit, you can register with the family in the Orchestranimal workshop which makes it possible to compose your own musical bestiary using musical instruments from all over the world.

Furthermore, still at the Philharmonie de Paris, “musical recreation” allow parents all year round to attend a concert on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. or 4 p.m. while their children (aged 4 to 9 years) are welcomed by musicians and animators for recreational time, mixing tasting, games and musical activities (price: 12 euros, three hours).
