Anniversary concert 15 years JeKi (an instrument for every child)
Over the past 15 years, the Ministry of Schools and Vocational Training has opened this door for 50,000 primary school children in 69 schools in Hamburg: from getting to know the instruments for the first time and trying out how to produce sound, to weekly lessons in small groups and presentations at school and beyond, the JeKi children have immersed themselves in the world of instrumental playing. As with seasoned musicians, listening, imitating, trying things out, helping each other, showing, practising, playing together, extra rehearsals and performing have become part of their lives.
JeKi enables all children to take part, regardless of their family background, because it is free of charge. This gives every child in the JeKi schools the chance to climb the first steps on an instrument of their choice.
15 years of JeKi are truly a reason to be proud and to celebrate in style, and the Laeiszhalle provides the festive setting. The varied programme includes songs and pieces from different genres, which are presented by individual JeKi groups or jointly by the anniversary orchestra across schools.
