»Klangreise«
1st-4th grade
Accompanied by their teachers, children embark on an experimental sound journey in front of and behind the scenes of the Wiener Konzerthaus: from the foyer to the stage lift and into the large concert halls. Each child experiments with materials such as wood, metal, glass and stone, tries out instruments and slips into the role of the conductor.

»Rätselrallye«
1st-6th grade
There are many exciting secrets in the Vienna Konzerthaus, which was built 110 years ago. Children discover the building and its history in a playful way and with all kinds of tricky questions: Does the Great Hall have more light bulbs or more seats? Where is the largest instrument in the building hidden? How many visitors come to the Konzerthaus each season? In the subsequent workshop, pupils compete against each other in short rounds of games: who is faster at setting up a music stand?

»Konzertspiel«
3rd-6th grade
School classes visit the Wiener Konzerthaus and discover step by step what it takes to make the concert in the evening a success. Many questions are answered behind the scenes: How do you become a stage manager or theatre manager? What does an artistic director actually do? At the end of this journey of discovery, the programme includes a "concert play" organised by the children themselves.

»Backstage tour«
Backstage tours for young people aged 13 and over explain musical topics relating to the organisation and staging of concerts in one of Europe's leading concert halls. These tours give young people a unique insight behind the scenes and explore the journey of world stars from their arrival at the porter's lodge to the stage.
