Elbphilharmonie Kopfhörer #10 – Songs of the World

The Elbphilharmonie podcast for young people aged 8 and upwards.

The 11-year-old Joshua has brought a song with him from a distant place. Where does it come from? How do we find that out? And can music be assigned to a particular place? To find an answer to these questions, we visited the Elbphilharmonie choir »Chor zur Welt«: the singers come from many different regions and countries, but there is one thing that links them all. Do you have any idea what it could be?

Please note: This podcast is only available in German.

Tip: In this edition of our »Kopfhörer« quiz you can toss a dice to find out what is »typically German«. Or shouldn’t one say that any more in a world that is growing ever closer?
