Hardly any other piece of music has ever achieved such a high level of fame as Sergei Prokofiev's musical fairy tale with its characteristic melodies for the brave Peter, his friend, the bird (flute), the velvet-pawed cat (clarinet), the excited duck (oboe), the thoughtful, grumpy grandfather (bassoon) and of course for the big gray wolf (French horn). In the chamber music version for five wind instruments and narrator, the old story is brought to life and the five musicians of the State Orchestra can be admired and heard up close. A bird that can't fly and one that can't swim... and in the end the cat is happy? What happens if you don't close the garden gate behind you? What does the mouthpiece of an oboe sound like? How do you get a sound out of the French horn? These questions are answered casually for all concertgoers in the family atmosphere of the Little House. In addition, you can try out musical instruments yourself after the concert.
