In the organizer's words:

NUTCRACKER AND MOUSE KING

A musical winter fairy tale based on E.T.A. Hoffmann with music by Peter Tchaikovsky, Robert Schumann and others.

In their children's program "Nutcracker and Mouse King", the Pindakaas Saxophone Quartet and Berlin actor Frank Dukowski follow in the footsteps of Peter Tchaikovsky's world-famous ballet "The Nutcracker". Based on the fairy tale by E.T.A. Hoffmann, it tells the story of the girl Clara, who receives a nutcracker as a present from her godfather Drosselmeier on Christmas Eve. It comes to life during the night to defeat the evil Mouse King together with the toy soldiers in the children's room. At the end of the story, Clara frees the enchanted Nutcracker from his curse because her love is stronger than the dark magic.

Hardly any other classical piece has produced as many well-known melodies as Peter Tchaikovsky's ballet "The Nutcracker". The Pindakaas Saxophone Quartet not only presents many of these well-known catchy tunes, such as the "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", but also works by Robert Schumann, Carl Reinecke, Modeste Mussorgsky and Igor Stravinsky in sophisticated arrangements for saxophone, clarinet, oboe and flute.

A captivating musical fairy tale for the winter season for children aged 5-10 years, duration: 50 minutes without intermission.
