Engelbert Humperdinck "Hansel and Gretel"

At a family concert at the Berlin Philharmonie in December 2006, conductor Mark Elder asked the audience if any of the children present wanted to conduct the Berliner Philharmoniker. A courageous eight-year-old came forward and, together with the musicians, performed the witches' ride from Engelbert Humperdinck's opera "Hansel and Gretel" - as the video shows, a very special experience for the young conductor and for the Berliner Philharmoniker.
