Education Projects

The participatory cultural education projects of the Basel Chamber Orchestra promote understanding and appreciation of classical music.
Through active participation in the artistic process, prejudices can be broken down and connections built.

The stories about Struwwelpeter are widely known: 'The story of the evil Friederich', 'The story of the Soup Punch'or 'The story of the fidgety Philip'.

The Basel Chamber Orchestra sets all nine stories to music, plays with the Basel Girls' Choir and, together with the actor Lukas Magnus Paulsteiner, looks at the book from a different angle.

Different musical genres are experienced and questions arise, such as: Why is Friederich so evil anyway? Why does little Konrad keep sucking his thumb and how strong can winds be? 

"Umbrella and Robert fly there, through the clouds forever."
