6K UNITED!

Accompanied by a 16-piece live band and a breathtaking stage show for the whole family, the children create overwhelming concert experiences and goosebump moments with their performances. With new songs from pop, folk and classical music under the motto ‘I AM BECAUSE WE ARE’, the final concerts of the music project are scheduled for June 2025 in the largest concert venues in the regions.

Inspiration for music lessons and choir rehearsals

6K UNITED! aims to inspire children to sing and make music in the long term and offer teachers, music educators and choir leaders variety, inspiration and expertise for innovative, holistic and lively music lessons. The project promotes basic musical skills, a sense of rhythm and the correct use of one's own voice. 6K UNITED! brings together thousands of children from all types of schools, social classes and cultures. Participation creates enormous self-confidence and strengthens concentration and team spirit. The anticipation of the concerts allows all participants to surpass themselves and grow together.

The Repertoire 2025 - ‘I am because we are’

At the concert at the latest, everyone will not only know, but also experience this personally: Only if we truly consider all others (and ourselves) to be valuable can we create something great together. In the concerts, children from all types of schools sing together. During rehearsals, they realise that such a professional concert can only be performed TOGETHER. The musical and educational director Prof Fabian Sennholz trains prospective music teachers for all types of schools at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts and is Tim Bendzko's musical director. He trains the participating teachers in teacher workshops and conducts the choirs on the concert days. For 2024, Fabian has compiled new songs and arranged them in a child-friendly way, suitable for all types of schools thanks to different levels of difficulty. Teachers will receive customised teaching materials to prepare the children for their big performance in the arena. It contains songbooks, practice CDs and videos, tips and teaching modules. For non-specialist teachers, there are instructions without technical terms, allowing them to work through the songs using only the lyrics without sheet music. And thanks to online videos, the children can also practise the songs independently at home. Workshops for teachers and choir leaders are also organised in the concert cities before the hot rehearsal phase.

Final concerts as the highlight

The highlights of the project are the big final concerts. In the large arenas where the children's idols usually perform, up to 6,000 participants come together to sing the songs they have learnt for the first time as part of what is probably the largest children's choir in Germany. On the day of the concert, the children surpass themselves. They are the stars and together they create deeply moving and memorable concert experiences. It is touching to feel the pride and excitement of all the participants. Families, friends and everyone else experience the overwhelming spirit that makes the 6K UNITED! concerts something very special.
