Performance at the Classics for Children Festival 2024
On 21 September 2024, Aristides will conduct the musica viva chamber orchestra at the annual Classical Music for Children Festival in Leipzig. This time with the support of new ‘young conductors’ and a programme of compositions for children and young people, plus the 3rd movement of Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's Symphony No. 1 (conducted by Yannika Schad), animated films will be presented that children have conceived and realised in response to the new compositions. Pupils from the forum thomanum primary school are responsible for this. The school's children's choir will also be singing under the direction of Matthias Schubotz.
