Les Mélomanes en culotte courte

Concerts for children (0-7) and their parents

Jean-Philippe Sarcos and Le Palais royal create concerts for children and their parents.

Each term, a different programme offers a relaxed introduction to singing and instruments, alternating musical moments with direct interaction, the children free to express themselves.

On rugs and in their parents’ arms, the children discover music and every instrument, sing, dance, have fun and marvel, in an intimate and convivial atmosphere.

These are family concerts: a moment of closeness between parents and children; an hour spent in a relaxed atmosphere, for a gentle discovery of the wonders of the musical world.
