Discover the Family Concerts of the 2023-24 season!

Our family concerts are a fun and varied introduction to music, to the instruments of the orchestra and to a repertoire that combines classical hits with works written especially for children, such as The Conductor's Spellbook, which the American composer Paul Dooley designed as an exciting interactive experience.
The OSR Grand Tour will take you to the four corners of the world.
Cabot-Caboche, by writer Daniel Pennac and set to music by Karol Beffa, tells the tender story of a brave but not very pretty dog in search of a friend.
The woodwind and brass families will have no secrets for you after hearing the concert Vive les Vents! and we will finish this series in the kitchens of Lionville to discover Le Carnaval des animaux by Saint-Saëns revisited with humour and panache by the composer Jean-François Verdier and a text by Bernard Friot.
