News – European Fairytale Festival

News & Events

The European FairyTale Association has set the goal of creating children’s productions based on two important core elements: the classical orchestra and fairytales.

Both elements have been linked to our culture and history across European borders for centuries and form the base of our European identity.

With the FairyTale Concerts we not only want to lower the threshold to classical music and show children and their families the way to our concert halls, but at the same time we want to playfully invite and present them culture, history and musical styles from all corners of Europe.

The Orchestra

The musicians of this hand picked orchestra are not only magicians on their instruments, they play together because they all have one thing in common: they are convinced that classical music is essential in the education of young children.

And how could we indulge our young public more than playing their own repertoire: Musical Fairytales.

By performing Musical Fairytales of all European countries we hope across borders to meet each other in a fantastic world full of surprises and get to know our different cultures.

From Sweden to Spain, from the UK to Belarus, every country has his own fairytales, some of them very old, some of them brand new.

Musical Fairytales are a fancy way to get to know better our European fellow citizens and to learn about their culture.

Music is the common language we all understand far beyond the borders of all our different countries.

Our Repertoire

Bringing musical fairytales is not our end goal. The fairytales are used to spike the interest of the youth in the much bigger, too little known world that is classical music.

Thanks to the uncountable quantity of musical fairytales from all over Europe, we can bring a variety of performances with a playful educational undertone but based on cultural and pedagogical elements.

Through these concerts families can easily find their way to the concert hall where children, in many cases, for their first times get in touch with the classical orchestra.
