At his side are the chamber orchestra itself and the Philharmonic Rassel Band, which is responsible for the musical part. The performance in the Great Hall of the renowned concert hall will be led by conductor Andreas Peer Kähler, who studied conducting and composition at the Berlin University of the Arts.

Kähler told the “BZ” that he could Habeck in dealing with children – that’s why he was asked and the ex-politician immediately agreed. The performance is for Habeck not a completely new experience in the cultural sector: Before his political career, he wrote several children’s books together with his wife, the writer Andrea Paluch. However, the step onto the concert stage is his first public appearance of this kind since the end of the traffic light coalition.
