Since 1978, musicians of the Philharmonic State Orchestra have been passionately involved in working at Hamburg's schools. Regularly, Philharmonic ensembles visit schools in the entire city of Hamburg. The educational work takes place for two hours with two classes of a similar age. A curriculum is worked out and followed through by the musicians of the orchestra. The instruments and the music pieces are chosen depending on the age of the students. The main aspects however, are the dialogue between children, artists and teachers as well as trying out the instruments.

Scheherazade
The spanish conductor Gustavo Gimeno opens the rehearsal for the 4th Philharmonic Concert (at the Laeiszhalle) for students and brings the thrilling stories and motifs of Nikolai Rimski Korsakow's "Scheherazade" to life. The symphonic suite tells exciting stories from 1001 Night with musical orientalisms. In the motif of the solo-violin we hear princess Scheherazade telling her wondrous stories to appease the tyranic sultan.
