Education
Inspiring & motivating
Muziekgebouw Eindhoven considers cultural education for children and young people to be important. Through various projects, we contribute to the musical development of our youngest visitors. To achieve this, we collaborate with primary schools in the city and with various organisations that specialise in inspiring and motivating children to engage with music themselves.
Unforgettable Class
In 2024, 2025 and 2026, Muziekgebouw Eindhoven will welcome a total of 2,500 primary school pupils from Eindhoven. In partnership with ASML, we are organising a day for these children to be immersed in music through motivating and inspiring workshops and masterclasses. These sessions will be led by professional musicians who are eager to guide young musicians and show them the endless possibilities of music. It will be an unforgettable morning filled with music!
Drawing for Freedom
What does freedom mean to you? This question is central to the “Drawing for Freedom” event, designed for primary school pupils from Eindhoven’s underprivileged neighbourhoods. The event consists of three parts. First, the children receive a lesson from War Child, where this question is explored. Inspired by the lesson, they create drawings that reflect the theme of freedom. These drawings are then animated and showcased as a film in the Hertog Jan Hall at Muziekgebouw Eindhoven, accompanied by live music! For this project, we collaborate with Liberation040.
Music Unites Eindhoven
Muziekgebouw Eindhoven is collaborating with local VMBO students from Eindhoven and the world-renowned Metropole Orkest for Music Unites. This unique concert features VMBO students, music teachers, and the orchestra working together to write and rehearse songs. They will open the Music Unites concert with a medley of these songs, performed alongside the orchestra. This will be followed by a performance by the Metropole Orkest featuring Dutch rapper, songwriter, and producer Joël Domingos. This concert is specially tailored for primary school students in years 5 through 8 from the Eindhoven region, taking children on a musical journey full of surprise and enjoyment.
