Schools’ concert with Gerd Albrecht –
a project for primary schools in Frankfurt

Schools' concert with Gerd Albrecht – a project for primary schools in Frankfurt run by Alte Oper Frankfurt in cooperation with Stiftung Polytechnische Gesellschaft, UBS Deutschland AG, the Hesse Ministry of Culture, represented by the Staatliches Schulamt für die Stadt Frankfurt (state education authority for the City of Frankfurt), and the Stadtschulamt Frankfurt am Main (Frankfurt am Main city education authority).
 
Since 2008, the Alte Oper has staged two concerts once a year for schoolchildren of primary school age in Frankfurt. The concerts are held at 9.30 a.m. and 11 a.m. and are integrated in the school curriculum. Prior to the event, a training session is used to prepare teaching staff for the concert and familiarise them with a range of interactive activities for their pupils.
As both concerts are financed by the Stiftung Polytechnische Gesellschaft and UBS Deutschland AG, the children only have to pay an admission fee of two euros.
 
The two concerts in the 2012/2013 season will take place on 14 September 2012 at 9.30 a.m. and 11 a.m.; the event will be announced to all primary schools in Frankfurt shortly.
