Philharmonic and conservatory for children. How it works: Children's Philharmonic Folklore Center L
Why buy season tickets at all? Well, firstly, the rule “cheaper in bulk” works even in the Philharmonic. Compare the subscription price with regular tickets for the same concerts - you will notice. It’s nice, especially if you love music (or want to love it) and dream that the person closest to you will share your passion with you. Or - oh happiness! - if this has already happened, and the child cannot live without symphony concerts. In short, if you often go to listen to music, a subscription will save you from ruin.
Secondly, the subscription disciplines. At our pace of life, it’s no secret that we are tempted to “exhale” and relax. Don’t forget to track when tickets appear at the box office, buy them quickly before they run out, and all in order to leave your cozy home on your legal day off in search of cultural entertainment... Maybe not this time? There are still plenty of concerts ahead. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? In the end, by an inexplicable coincidence, May comes, there are practically no concerts left on the bill, and you still haven’t made it out this year. A subscription reduces the likelihood of such falling away from the culture. What to hide: paid! But even if you suddenly miss a concert, you won’t lose much money compared to the regular ticket price.
These arguments, however, work under one condition. Going to the Philharmonic should really bring you joy and not torment your child. Otherwise, pay attention to the forum thread “Extra ticket”. It is there, among the sufferers, painfully refilling missing season tickets and bitterly regretting money spent unwisely, that you risk finding yourself.
Where to start?
There is no universal recipe here. When choosing, it is best not to focus on fashion, classmates or friends from the playground/kindergarten. Based on your child's preferences. You can read descriptions of concerts and reviews about them, see what kind of orchestra is playing, what they write about the performers. Or you can - and this is the most win-win option - buy a trial ticket and go to the concert of the subscriber you like. Buy it next season if you like it.
How to choose the right subscription?
Is your child ready to listen to reading aloud all day long, and does he practically not care what is read to him? In this case, it seems preferable to start with programs that combine music and artistic word. This could, of course, be any version of everything that firmly holds the palm of popularity recent years"Fairy Tales with Orchestra" subscription. Here famous artists read aloud famous children's texts in dialogue with the Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Moscow Philharmonic.
Subscription No. 51A "Fairy Tales with Orchestra" season 2013-2014
Subscription No. 51 "Fairy Tales with Orchestra" season 2013-2014
Subscription No. 52 "Tales with an orchestra. Favorites" season 2013-2014
Subscription No. 52-A "Tales with an orchestra. Favorites" season 2013-2014
You can choose “There Were and Fables,” also known as “The Funny Professor,” to listen to a masterly reading by the wonderful Pavel Lyubimtsev.
All these concerts are held annually in the Tchaikovsky Hall (it’s very beautiful there, and this is also important), and not only are tickets for them in great demand, but even individual tickets are not easy to buy.
But no need to get hung up! Try choosing a similar program on a less “promoted” site. For example, for the little ones - any of the fabulous subscriptions to the Chamber Hall, the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music, the Gnessin Concert Hall on Povarskaya, the Orchestrion or even. Not as grandiose as the Great Hall of the Philharmonic, these halls can be more comfortable for children, and season tickets are cheaper. And the concerts here are excellent. Let's say, "Fairy tales for the little ones" in Gnesinka. Or, for example, Svetlana Vinogradova, who told fairy tales to us parents, conducts concerts at the Orchestrion. It’s better, however, to first make sure that these “Fairy Tales for Everyone” are suitable for you too. Especially if your choice is not driven by childhood nostalgia.
The Philharmonic annually prepares programs combining music and words for older children. The list varies slightly from year to year, but the selection rule described above also applies here. Try, for example, like “In the Land of Unlearned Lessons” on Povarskaya. “Fairytale” subscriptions, here or in any other hall, are also often interesting for older children - choose according to your taste. Excellent music performed virtuoso is practically guaranteed.
Some happy people They love to study - to learn new things, to listen to stories. The Philharmonic also has concerts aimed at such audiences of different ages. First of all, I remember, again from childhood, “Big Music for Little Ones,” familiar to many parents, with its permanent presenter Natalya Panasyuk. Older children, “as well as their parents,” will be interested in listening to the already mentioned Svetlana Vinogradova, the legendary Zhanna Dozortseva - she conducts programs in the Tchaikovsky Hall (“Music, painting, life”) and in Great hall Conservatories ("By countries and continents"). The best people always play here best performers and orchestras. Prefer a more youthful style? Go see Artem Vargaftik and see how modern classical music is.
Now about the most important and most target audience of any philharmonic concerts. About children who do not want to listen to any words, because words bother them. About those who want to hear only music. This is a gift, and age does not play a role here. If you notice that this is exactly the case with your child, do not torture him. These halls are a unique place where he has such an opportunity. And he will still get words - well, at least in the theater. There are not too many children's subscriptions with a minimum of words, but they exist. Here again it makes sense, for example, to pay attention to the programs of Zhanna Dozortseva. While the child is still too small to withstand the introductory text, you can come to its end. And just listen to music. If you have not selected a suitable subscription from children's repertoire, take a closer look at adult symphony concerts. After all, you can leave early if your child is tired. True, if we are dealing with the type described above, you are more likely to get tired.
The proposed division is, of course, very arbitrary. How pointless it is to try to get a clear recommendation when choosing any concert, play or book. Until you listen, see, read, understand. So, forward to good music. Just don't be late! Every year, the sale of season tickets opens earlier and earlier, and the queues for them at the box office are longer and longer. And this cannot but rejoice: you are creating a generation of music lovers!
Today it will be purely useful, in the format of “where to go with your child on the weekend” and “concerts with children” and the like. Music subscription professionals may not read the text for beginners about children's subscriptions to the Moscow Philharmonic and Conservatory.
So here it is. Why now? Because it’s been a week since the season for selling season tickets, adults and children, opened. You can choose. Two main directions of the “children + classical music” format (and not only).
Classics of the genre - children's subscription No. 4, Moscow Conservatory. Conductor and narrator - Vyacheslav Valeev. Concerts on Sundays (4 in total per season), lasting about an hour. Valeev copes well with children's audiences, K. loves him very much. It is important to understand that children's passes do not mean that your child will sit in one place, stretched out. It's not like that at all. For example, at one of the subscription concerts, the children sang songs in the entire audience along with the orchestra, K. was very inspired, then for two days he told how he liked it, singing like that at the conservatory. The cost of a subscription for the next season is 1200-8000 rubles.
In addition to the classic fourth season ticket, there is also “Journey Around the World” - each concert is dedicated to a country, for example, France. We listen to Debussy, Ravel, Poulenc. And so on. There is a subscription dedicated to great composers, and there is a “fairytale subscription”.
The Moscow Philharmonic offers an even larger selection of different subscriptions for children. This season we went to listen to “The Funny Professor.” Each concert is thematic, Pavel Lyubimtsev wonderfully talks about a wide variety of things, Osipov’s orchestra supports him, slides are displayed on the screens, in a word, everything is done perfectly for children so that no one gets bored. For example, yesterday K. went to the concert “From Moscow to the Pacific Ocean. Great Russian travelers and discoverers of the Far Eastern lands." He came out absolutely delighted, talking about Bering, Kamchatka, geysers, Yakut music. In a word, this is not just an introduction to music, but also a conditionally “educational program”, and Pavel Lyubimtsev talks about everything so excitingly, without coddling or flirting with the children’s audience, but with the masses interesting facts, beautiful intonations that both adults and children listen to. For example, yesterday I arrived early to pick up K., I decided to go in, sit in the lobby for a while, listen a little, and then run some errands. But in the end I watched the entire concert on the screen - I just couldn’t tear myself away.
In fact, the Philharmonic offers dozens of children's subscriptions, ranging in theme. If you love fairy tales and music, there are plenty of “fairytale subscriptions”. For example, “Tales with an orchestra. Saturday afternoon symphony concerts for children" with the participation of the wonderful Yulia Peresild and Chulpan Khamatova, a wonderful subscription to "country music" conducted by Artem Vargaftik, there is a subscription "How the forest boy taught the musical alphabet." Daytime concerts for children from 3 to 7 years old” for the very little ones, the only one that on the Philharmonic website is not 6+, but 0+. In general, for every taste.
By the way, regarding age. I doubted for a long time when to start going to concerts with my child, in the end I decided not to take him anywhere at three, we started going at four, in our case it was already the age. He goes with 6+ passes, no questions asked.
Finally, one more story that sometimes stops people - like we buy a subscription, then we get sick, we miss it, and so on. In fact, as usual, there is no spoon. In our practice, we missed only one concert out of eight due to illness. But, if you still have doubts, tickets for some subscriptions can be purchased right before the concert at the box office.
The most practical question. When to buy. It's better to buy right now. Because some passes sell out quickly and quickly disappear from sale. It is also important, when you choose a subscription, to pay attention to the location of the concert, so as not to come to the Tchaikovsky Hall when the concert is taking place at the Philharmonic-2 in the Olympic Village. And yes, the subscription is valid for one person, and not for a combination of adults + children.
This seems to be the end of musical lifehacks, I’ll go roast a duck for lunch.
Appreciation of the fine arts requires preparation: listening skills classical music and understanding ballet comes if you systematically devote time and attention to it. We have selected for you the most interesting programs in Moscow, offering a harmonious trajectory of children's music education.
We would also like to note that it is better to buy tickets in advance - seats sell out very quickly, and you often need luck to get to every concert on the program.
