At the Maribor Festival, we understand how precious it is for the first steps into the world of music to be exciting and memorable and how important it is for the programmes offered to be of the highest quality and tailored to young listeners. The love of music is a love that lasts and enriches us throughout our lives. That's why we have carefully crafted two unique events for our young audiences, where we can hope for similar responses as the one described above.
Come, bring your family! Treat them and yourself with a shared experience of joy, surprise, wonder, and pleasure found in music written and performed especially for them. Its magical power is the key to a treasure chest containing life's most precious gifts: the pursuit of beauty, the fire of intellect, the mind, the depth of emotions, the roots of culture and the spark of curiosity and creativity.
Share all these gifts with your offspring. It's both a privilege and a joy!
