The best children's music subscriptions. Music subscriptions for children Philharmonic for children
One of the most important activities of the Children's Music School im. M. M. Ippolitov-Ivanov is the development of the project "Children's Philharmonic". The idea of the project arose in 2008 and was organized in the format of subscription concerts for schoolchildren on the basis of a music school. The essence of the project is to educate and familiarize schoolchildren with the great wealth of the world's musical heritage, through musical material accessible to children's perception, performed by schoolchildren, peers of the audience.
Today, this activity is being gradually reformatted. The scope of the audience is expanding to the maximum. Events organized by students of the music school are held in large and modern assembly halls of general education schools in Tagansky and other districts of Moscow. There is a real opportunity for the simultaneous presence of up to 500 students at the event. The structure of communication with schoolchildren is also changing. Musical and general education schools combine their efforts in the implementation of joint interactive projects, using modern multimedia tools, coordinating the subject matter with educational material that is relevant for schoolchildren of a general school.
In the 2015/16 academic year, events were held dedicated to the anniversaries of S. Yesenin and P. I. Tchaikovsky, poetry and music of the Silver Age, as well as the music of composers of the last century. In the first half of the year, about 10 concerts were held, with an audience of more than 2,000 people aged 7 to 17 years.
Every year the number of sponsored secondary schools with which productive cooperation is carried out is expanding. In this row are the general education complex 498 of the school in Moscow, consisting of structural divisions No. 622, 467, 465, 498, the structural division "Proletarka" of the gymnasium No. 1274 named after. V. V. Mayakovsky, cadet corps of the Tagansky district.
Teachers and students of the music school try to be creative in the selection of repertoire, develop and improve its quality in order to interest and educate the school audience as much as possible.

Knowing the plot of the famous fairy tales played out on the stage, little spectators easily learn to understand the expressive body language of the dancers, and bright costumes and masterful choreography turn a visit to fabulous ballet performances into an unforgettable event.
Program:
"Mowgli" based on the book by R. Kipling
The play "Mowgli" is a large-scale spectacle designed for a large cast of artists, a serious symphony orchestra and choir, and a modern light score. In "Mowgli" the innovation of choreography manifested itself in the development of plasticity brought from the world of the jungle, characteristic "animal" gestures and movements
"Cipollino"
One of the best ballet companies in Moscow, Russian Seasons, offers children the colorful ballet Cipollino to the music of K. Khachaturian, staged by Nikolai Androsov, which turns into a fascinating comedy-detective story.
"Cinderella" based on the fairy tale by Ch. Perrault
One of the most favorite works of Sergei Prokofiev. In November 1945, he wrote: “The main thing that I wanted to convey in the music of Cinderella is the poetic love of Cinderella and the Prince, the birth and flowering of feelings, obstacles in his path, the realization of a dream.” The interpretation of Kasatkina and Vasilev is very close to the composer's intention. In their production, the piercing expectation of a miracle and the most miraculous transformation of the main character, which became a reality thanks to the magical help of the Fairy and the crystal slipper, come to the fore.

Since April 2014, he has been giving musical concerts for listeners from 0 to 4 years old. The repertoire includes classical, jazz, folk, rock ballads, covers of romantic melodies, dance hits and songs from cartoons. There are professional musicians on the stage, from regional bands to world-famous stars. In the hall - pillows instead of chairs and complete freedom for the kids. We figured out what is the secret of the popularity of entertainment unusual for modern children.
The project started with a full house at a classical string quartet concert and less than a year later became the winner of the Kids-friendly Business Award 2014 (among other nominees are the Darwin Museum of Moscow and Sochi Park).
On the eve of the second birthday of the Children's Philharmonic, we met with its founder and leader Irina Stoletskaya to talk about goals, children, music and Samara leisure.
Irina Stoletskaya
founder and leader of the Children's Philharmonic Society
about the project
Our project is like oxygen in the spiritual life of the city, where the lion's share of children's leisure is built on the competitive principle of "who is brighter", on work with form, not content. In Samara, it is still fashionable to arrange birthday parties for children, one cooler than the other; photo shoots depicting love in families that cannot agree even in everyday trifles; it is fashionable to buy more and more new “peppa pigs”, drawing children into a consumer society and creating the same consumers out of them, who do not know how to give and are not able to stop, because the saturation point is at infinity.
The only way to stop this race is to start enjoying life, doing what you like, not what is in trend; be, not seem to be. I see such families at our concerts - missing real, high-quality leisure for the soul.
The idea of classical concerts for kids is not new, but if in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg or Novosibirsk they need to be recorded for a month, we still have performances that do not pay off.
About the approach
It is almost impossible to introduce children to live music in all its diversity at home or in a club. For this, there must be special conditions, a special repertoire, special musicians. It is necessary to take into account the specifics of the perception and musical development of children. Therefore, we began the development of our project with serious consultations - with the neurophysiologist Tatyana Potekhina and the chairman Samara Orff Club Irina Korneeva. Their advice was taken into account when forming the concept, structure of concerts, choosing and decorating the premises, and acquiring props.
We started the development of the project with consultations with a neurophysiologist and an Orff teacher
During our concerts, children can move - at an early age they get to know the world and, in particular, music through movement. It is very important for us that parents do not feel embarrassed about the behavior of their children: they can freely approach the musicians, try to catch the bow from the cello, steal the maracas from the percussionist. We have a whole arsenal of remedies against whims, from musical instruments to treats.
We try to work with any listener, including families whose interests do not include music. Often, after visiting our concert, people change their attitude to the classics, bring friends; grandparents join the kids, realizing that this is one of the few places in the city where you can relax your soul together with your children.
The geography of our audience from the very beginning was extensive - people came and come to us from Novokuibyshevsk, from Krasnaya Glinka, Dry Samarka. For kids, such a long trip, of course, is a kind of test, but, on the other hand, it never occurs to anyone to complain that the circus, for example, was not built at the Mekhzavod.
About finance
The project has always been financed from the personal funds of its participants and sometimes survives solely thanks to our altruism. A ticket for mom and baby costs 1000 rubles, an additional ticket for a member of the same family - brother or dad - only 100 rubles. That is, on average, about 330 rubles per person is obtained - a quite competitive figure - people spend more in entertainment centers or cafes.
The visit costs 300 rubles per person. Entertainment centers spend much more
At the same time, chamber events. We are waiting for 15-20 families for concerts. More than twenty baby bees, buzzing and flying around the hall, is already discomfort for all participants. But even with a full record, usually 5-7 fewer families come: the kids may have a runny nose, tummy ache. We value our listeners and cancel concerts very rarely. In addition, we - the only ones in Samara - have a rule on the full transfer of the ticket price to any other concert in case of illness of the baby. We do this so that parents do not bring sick or undertreated children, but many who run a business in the children's area frankly do not understand us.
And finally, we still have subsidized concerts, which are possible at the expense of donors - everything is kept on this balance. In any case, this is not a business, but rather a social project.
About the repertoire
Every week we have different groups performing - now there are more than 20 of them. Mostly artists of the Samara Philharmonic Society and the Opera and Ballet Theater - string quartets, guitar and flute duets, and so on. There are groups that play rock and roll, waltzes, tangos and cartoon melodies. There are interactive concerts of Russian folk music, where the best folklorists of Samara not only sing, but also play with children, show performances, and lead round dances. We appreciate the opportunity to work with musicians who have been applauded by the whole world, with virtuosos, about whom it is clear that their work in Samara is temporary.
Many teams in our club already have fans from kids and parents who know the songs, are waiting for concerts and have replenished their arsenal of toys with their favorite musical instruments.
We do not focus on children's melodies - it is important for us to give children the opportunity to hear music in all its diversity
All our musicians are professionals. Many have decent experience working with children. They try to maintain a dialogue with the audience, select a repertoire to be on the wave with the audience. We do not focus on children's melodies - it is important for us to give children the opportunity to hear music in all its diversity. Melodies of the era of classicism and baroque give a sense of peace and harmony, dance music promotes musical and motor development, folklore awakens memory and introduces the child to folk culture.
Many of our folk concerts are subsidized, but we do not lose hope to convince parents that folk can be attractive and bewitching, like a band
Today it will be purely useful, of the format “where to go with the child on the weekend” and “concerts with children” and the like. Music subscription professionals may not read the text for beginners about children's subscriptions to the Moscow Philharmonic and the Conservatory.
So. Why now. Because it's been a week since the season for season tickets for adults and children opened. You can choose. Two main directions of the format "children + classical music" (and not only).
Classics of the genre — children's subscription №4, Moscow Conservatory. Conductor and narrator - Vyacheslav Valeev. Concerts on Sundays (only 4 per season), duration about an hour. Valeev copes well with the children's audience, K. loves him very much. It is important to understand that children's passes do not mean that your child will sit in one place, stretched out along the line. It's not like that at all. For example, at one of the subscription concerts, the children sang songs together with the orchestra in the audience, K. was very inspired, then for two days he told how he liked it, singing like this at the conservatory. The cost of a subscription for the next season is 1200-8000 rubles.
In addition to the classic fourth season ticket, there is also Journey Around the World - each concert is dedicated to a country, for example, France. We listen to Debussy, Ravel, Poulenc. And so on. There is a subscription dedicated to great composers, there is a "fabulous subscription".
The Moscow Philharmonic offers an even larger selection of subscriptions for children. We went to listen to The Funny Professor this season. Each concert is themed, Pavel Lyubimtsev wonderfully talks about very different things, Osipov's orchestra supports, slides are displayed on the screens, in a word, everything is done ideally for children so that no one is bored. For example, yesterday K. went to the concert “From Moscow to the Pacific Ocean. Great Russian travelers-discoverers of the Far Eastern lands. He came out in absolute delight, told about Bering, Kamchatka, geysers, Yakut music. In a word, this is not just an acquaintance with music, but also a conditionally “educational program”, and Pavel Lyubimtsev talks about everything so excitingly, without flirting and flirting with a children's audience, but with a lot of interesting facts, wonderful intonations that both adults and children listen to. For example, I arrived early yesterday to pick up K., decided to come in, sit in the lobby for a while, listen a little, and then run away on business. But in the end, I watched the whole concert on the screen - I just could not tear myself away.
In fact, the Philharmonic offers dozens of subscriptions for children, with a wide variety of topics. If you like fairy tales and music, there are a lot of “fairy season tickets”. For example, “Tales with an orchestra. Saturday afternoon symphonic concerts for children” with the participation of the beautiful Yulia Peresild and Chulpan Khamatova, a wonderful subscription of “regional music” conducted by Artem Vargaftik, there is a subscription “How a forest worker taught the musical alphabet”. Daytime concerts for kids from 3 to 7 years old” for the very youngest, the only one on the Philharmonic website that goes not 6+, but 0+. In general, for every taste.
By the way, with regard to age. I hesitated for a long time when to start these trips to concerts with a child, in the end I decided not to take him anywhere at three, we started going at four, in our case it turned out to be the very age. He goes season tickets 6+, no questions.
Finally, one more story that sometimes stops people - like buying a subscription, then getting sick, skipping it, and so on. In fact, as usual, there is no spoon. In our practice, we missed only one concert out of eight due to illness. But, if you are still in doubt, you can buy tickets for some subscriptions right before the concert at the box office.
The most practical question. When to buy. Buy better right now. Because some subscriptions sell out quickly and quickly disappear from sale. It is also important when choosing a subscription to pay attention to the venue of the concert, so as not to come to the Tchaikovsky Hall when the concert takes place at the Philharmonic-2 in the Olympic Village. And yes, the subscription is valid for one person, and not for a combination of an adult and a child.
On this, it seems, the musical life hacks are over, I'll go fry the duck for lunch.
