KLING KLANG GLORIA! 2025

Remembrance Tuesday, May 27, 2025 to Thursday, Jun 05, 2025

"Remembrance" ... That's a powerful word when you're not even that big yet! And yet memories play an important role in children's lives, both the painful and the beautiful ones.

Above all, however, memories are there when parents and especially grandparents share their memories with children. This brings back completely different times, and their descriptions bring foreign countries, customs, languages and experiences to life.

This year, KLING KLANG GLORIA! is dedicating two very special concerts to grandchildren and their grandparents, telling the story of growing old and staying young with wonderful music and a lot of heart: VERGISSMEINNICHT with the ensemble Die Schurken from Bregenz and OPAS ENGEL with the ensemble HimmelsBANDe from Augsburg.

KLING KLANG GLORIA! not only stands for high-quality concerts for families and children, but also for participation.

Every year since 2017, the festival has offered large participatory projects in which the young participants work under the guidance of professional musicians, usually months in advance, and can present their results at the festival. The aim of these projects is always to get children involved in musical activities - inventing music, trying out instruments, singing. The participants are therefore both audience and actors!

We are delighted that many children will once again be taking part in KLING KLANG GLORIA!
