Description of the project content

The Leskowsky Musical Instrument Collection is a unique cultural and educational programme in Kecskemét, which is aimed at all age groups. The project will strengthen the cultural life and image of Kecskemét, the brand "Kecskemét is the city of music". In cooperation with schools, it will help develop the creativity of young people in the city. In addition to our planned new programmes, we want to improve our existing services and make them more accessible and visible.   

Instrument pampering

A family programme for tiny babies. Getting to know the world of sounds, the instruments of the world. How does play become music, music becomes play? Rattling, rattling, drumming and strumming week after week. Children and their parents can discover and try out the most interesting sound-making instruments. The Musical Instrument Making sessions offer children aged 0-5 years and their parents and grandparents the experience of making music and exploring together, especially in disadvantaged communities.

Ages: from 6 months to 3 years, and up to 99 years for the next generation of relatives.

Creative music programmes for kindergartens and schools, instrument demonstration sessions 

An adventure in the world of special instruments. We want to hold interactive instrument demonstration sessions for preschool and school children, mainly involving Hungarian folk instruments.
