Beethoven's Fourth for the Whole Family: A Concert Full of Light, Excitement, and Discoveries
With Let There Be Light!, the Nikolaisaal Potsdam invites you on September 19, 2026 at 4:00 PM to a family symphony concert that brings Beethoven's Symphony No. 4 in B-flat major op. 60 to life for children aged 6 and up. The focus is on musical surprises, clear moderation, and a concert experience that doesn't explain classical music but makes it palpable.
A Transition from Fog to Sunshine
The very thought of Beethoven's Fourth carries the particular excitement of this afternoon: dark tones, an unexpected beginning, then more and more movement, lightness, and spirit. This is where the magic of this family symphony concert arises, where Juri Tetzlaff as a moderator unlocks the music with stories, images, and a fine sense for young ears.
Camerata Academica Potsdam with Clear Sound and Fine Orchestration
The Camerata Academica Potsdam brings the score to the stage of the Great Hall with precise orchestration, transparent sound culture, and strong stage presence. Under the direction of Ustina Dubitsky, Beethoven's music unfolds as a lively play of contrasts, rhythm, and energy. Those who listen closely will not only experience a concert but a small sound adventure filled with tension, humor, and luminous resolution.
Family Atmosphere in the Nikolaisaal
The Nikolaisaal Potsdam offers the perfect setting for a concentrated yet open concert experience with its Great Hall. The acoustics support fine details as well as powerful tutti passages, while the audience is drawn into the music from the very first minute. Starting at 3:00 PM, a craft offer in the foyer provides an additional family moment before the concert begins.
Experience Beethoven Anew
Beethoven's Symphony No. 4 is often considered underrated, yet it is filled with wit, vigor, and unexpected twists. Here, especially for young concertgoers, it becomes audible how an orchestra builds tension, develops themes, and works with colors of sound. The result is a live experience that sparks curiosity and a desire for more classical music.
Conclusion: This family symphony concert convincingly combines education, emotion, and musical radiance. Anyone who wants to experience Beethoven together with children will find a clever, entertaining, and atmospheric concert afternoon in Potsdam.
