about
This type of concert became world-famous in 1958 thanks to Leonard Bernstein’s “Young People’s Concerts” and has not had any such prominent successors since.
As a great admirer of Bernstein, Joseph Sieber has been experimenting with such methods since his early days as a conductor and has now specialised in them on a part-time basis.
They are part of several complementary formats for symphony orchestras – produced and distributed by the educational initiative SIMPLE SYMPHONY for customers all over the world.
