Our maxi.musik concerts are aimed at children aged 7 to 12. In lovingly designed productions, children are invited to immerse themselves in the world of classical music.

Climate crisis, hunger and wars – the world is full of disasters and people are holding one conference after another. But what is the outcome? Oskar the elephant, Alois the lion and Geraldine the giraffe think it's not enough. They believe that humans need their help, so the three of them convene the first international conference of animals. With a great deal of cunning, a thirst for adventure and, above all, the help of children, they want to persuade the world's heads of state to change their thinking.
