Music is so much fun and cheers up little and big, young and old hearts. Nowhere are emotions reflected as clearly and purely as in the faces of children: And you can see their curiosity about the hour-long concert experience. Conductor and director of the Salzburg Philharmonic Orchestra Elisabeth Fuchs is herself a mother of two: early contact between children and classical music is a very personal concern for her, true to the motto "practice early". And having fun is the top priority.
