3. FAMILIENKONZERT Arche Boa

In the organizer's words:

In times of climate change and species extinction, thousands of animals from the sinking world are competing in a spectacular ship show. The winner can look forward to a lifetime ticket on board the luxury liner "Arche Boa". Polar bears, koalas, bees & co. tell their life stories in the grand finale accompanied by animal orchestral music. Which animal will be chosen to enjoy its life on board the ship? Or will another solution be found?

Once again, the Würzburg Philharmonic Orchestra is bringing a picture book by Cornelia Boese to the stage. Boese's wonderfully imaginative texts are complemented by the following piece of music.
