Kinderkonzert // »Frederik«

In the organizer's words:

With the first snow, the five little field mice retreated to their hiding place among the stones. At first there was still enough to eat and they happily told each other stories about singing foxes and dancing cats. But gradually all the nuts and berries were eaten, the straw was used up and it became quiet and cold in their home.

Then they remembered Frederick. "Frederick, how are your supplies?" they called out. Frederick climbed onto a large stone and asked them to close their eyes. As he talked about blue cornflowers, red poppies and golden sunbeams, the mice saw the colors come to life as if they had been painted in their heads.

Frederick showed them the colors he had collected and the warmth of the sun's rays. He told them stories with the words he had collected and helped them through the many long winter days.

This is exactly the scene we find ourselves in in the children's concert "Frederick": in a colorful world in which small children between the ages of two and five can experience music for the first time.
