Mother Goose by Britten Sinfonia coming to Toll Gavel United Church, Beverley
Mon 9th October 2017
There are still tickets available for Britten Sinfonia’s presentation of Mother Goose on Saturday, 21 October 2017, at 2pm at Toll Gavel United Church, Beverley, as part of the Classically Yours series.
This will be an interactive concert, designed to introduce children to the delights of classical repertoire for chamber orchestra in a fun and collaborative environment.
Presented by Letty Stott and performed by six Britten Sinfonia musicians, the audience will have the opportunity to explore five different fairy tales accompanied by the charmingly delicate and imaginative suite of wind quintet pieces, written by French composer Maurice Ravel.
Community arts officer June Mitchell said : “Come along and help us create musical breadcrumbs for Tom Thumb, sing songs about caterpillars in The Fairy Garden, dance with The Prince of Pagodas and act as sleeping lions in Sleeping Beauty.”
Recommended age group: 5-9 years plus accompanying adults.
Tickets cost Adults £6, Children £5 and are available from Beverley Library or call 01482 395320 or visit events.eastriding.gov.uk
