Family concert King Carrot with the Göttingen Symphony Orchestra   conducted by Tim Hüttemeister .

A vegetable patch can be more exciting than you think. Much more exciting, in fact. It's not uncommon for an overzealous cook or a hungry rabbit to show up. And then a carrot acts like it's king: it doesn't care much for reality, lives in its own fantasy world and demands that the other vegetables always dance to its tune. Of course, no one will let that happen, and so there are arguments and even more excitement than usual. What does power do to the carrot? And how does love bond? Composer Andreas N. Tarkmann used Jacques Offenbach's operetta "Le Roi Carotte" as the basis for creating a clever work for chamber orchestra based on Jörg Schade 's story that is sure to whet the appetite of all children.
