Music is a source of many emotions: joy, sadness, happiness... Fear. This Friday, October 31, 2025, to celebrate Halloween, the Philharmonie is offering a variety of events and programs for young and old alike.

Listening to instruments, taking part in a workshop, or attending a concert: the Philharmonie de Paris offers several routes into music during the All Saints’ Day holidays in 2026. The program features activities for children from age 4 and their families, to be chosen according to age and whether they want to play or listen.

On Saturday, October 31 at 2:30 PM and 3:30 PM, the Colors of Morocco promenade concert, for ages 6 and up, introduces Sufi, Gnawa and al-Andalus music at the Museum of Music. The Akdeniz Duo, the Ensemble Zendeh Delan, and Jawad & the Coyos join this musical journey through the collections.

At 4 p.m., Paroles de cœur welcomes families with children from 7 years old in the concert hall of the Cité de la musique. Led by singer Chérifa Kersit and the Ensemble Lâabat de Benslimane, this show of about an hour delves into the artistic heritage of Amazigh women.

For the youngest visitors, the museum’s workshop visits and storytelling sessions dive into fantastical tales, monsters, dragons, animals, and the sounds of the world. Older children can discover the symphony orchestra, sound effects, or percussion. Each activity has its own age requirements and booking details.

On October 17 at 5 p.m., the event Chorus for a Day invites collective singing from age 8, with no audition or prerequisites, on the Rue musicale. This activity is free of charge.

On October 18 and 25, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m., the workshop Oriental Connection, for ages 8 and up, invites families to explore rhythms and melodies tied to the exhibition Hassan Hajjaj + Acid Arab, My Rock Stars.

We can also discover the Philharmonie des enfants, its musical discovery space for the 4-10 ans. The concerts, workshops, exhibitions and play area each require separate tickets or reservations: the holiday program does not come with a single shared ticket.
