Bligg on stage together with 170 children

"Klassenmusizieren" is a form of teaching that was initiated in the 2007/08 school year. Currently, over seventy school classes, i.e. around 1500 pupils in Zurich, benefit from the program. It is run in close cooperation between the Musikschule Konservatorium Zürich (MKZ) and Zurich's elementary school, which provide teaching staff, sheet music and classrooms. In addition, every schoolchild receives an instrument on loan from MKZ free of charge.

To ensure that pupils continue to have access to music in class in the future, a benefit concert is held every two years for the benefit of "Klassenmusizieren". Previous concerts have been performed by Kurt Aeschbacher, Heidi Happy, Pepe Lienhard and Howard Griffiths.

This year, it is the Zurich musician Bligg who has been rehearsing with the class orchestras in the run-up to the big performance. Together they will play three Bligg songs that have been specially arranged for this concert. Eva Nidecker will host the concert evening. City Councillor Gerold Lauber, head of the city's Department of Education and Sport, is the political patron.
