Educational concert: A Story from the Heart of the Old Continent – The Nutcracker Suite

Educational concert "A Story from the Heart of the Old Continent – The 'Nutcracker' Suite", on 11 December 2026, at 10:00 and 11:00 (this listing is for the 11:00 performance), in the Patria Hall (the large hall) of the Brașov Philharmonic. The Brașov Philharmonic Orchestra plays, conducted by Andrej Vesel, with Alexandra Enache as narrator. The ballet classes of the Reduta Cultural Centre take part (teacher/choreographer Anca Iuga, rehearsal pianist Cătălin Iosub), adding choreographed moments to the music.

The event aims to help children understand the concept of a libretto and the structure of a ballet, discover instruments with a special timbre, such as the celesta, and see how a literary theme (Hoffmann/Dumas) travels between the cultures of western and eastern Eurasia. The recommended level is from nursery (age 3+) to Year 9 (8th grade).
