A summer morning full of sound, heart, and family moments in the Mercatorhalle
On Sunday, June 28, 2026, the foyer of the Philharmonie Mercatorhalle in Duisburg will transform into a stage for young voices, lively music, and an atmosphere that creates closeness immediately. At the summer concert of klasse.klassik, the Children's Choir on the Rhine will meet an ensemble of the Duisburg Philharmonic, with Sabina López Miguez taking over the musical direction. The result: a compact, warm concert experience with songs from around the world, spiritual works, and pop melodies.

Sound colors that touch immediately
This summer concert thrives not on size, but on presence. The youngest voices of the Deutsche Oper am Rhein bring a fresh, clear tonality that resonates particularly directly in the foyer of the Philharmonie Mercatorhalle. For families, it creates precisely that live atmosphere where classical music sounds not distant, but direct and tangible. The age recommendation from 6 years and the duration of around 50 minutes make the format ideal for a musical morning with a short, concentrated tension arc dramaturgy.

klasse.klassik with an educational touch
The Duisburg Philharmonic has been building bridges to the younger generation with klasse.klassik for over 20 years. The program stands for music communication at eye level, for orchestral education, and for an audience that not only hears classical music but experiences it. The summer concert fits harmoniously into this line: a cross-generational format that combines choral work, ensemble sound, and child-friendly concert culture.

A choir with real stage experience
The Children's Choir on the Rhine is not a guest without practice, but an ensemble with opera experience. 55 young singers participate in numerous productions on the grand stages of the Düsseldorf Opera House and the Duisburg Theater; in the 2025/2026 season, the choir can be experienced in Turandot, Tosca, and the family opera Pinocchio, among others. This stage experience also shapes the summer concert: precise synchronization, clear articulation, and a vibrant choral sound drive the program.
