The Orchestra Festival is Denmark's largest classical music festival for children and young people, where talented musicians from across the country gather to play together what they have learned. This musical event brimming with symphonic experiences and genuine musical joy takes place at Musikhuset in Aarhus.
The entire day offers free admission to countless orchestra concerts and musical activities. You are free to come and go between performances and enjoy the music at your own pace—experience the full program or listen to just your favorite pieces.
