We’re currently working on this page. In the future, you’ll able to meet the members of the orchestra & read about their instruments, read musical jokes, do puzzles, enter competitions, and download pictures to colour in. We’ll be updating this page regularly so keep checking back to see what goodies are on offer!
You can read an interview with the fabulous pianist from our last concert, 12 year old, Sophia Li if you go to the drop down menu, Let’s Talk.
Sophia has also written a short essay called I Am A Lucky Child, which I’m sure you’ll enjoy.
One of our recent concerts included Midsummer Night’s Dream – music based on Shakespeare’s play in which humans come into contact with fairies. One of the humans (named Bottom) ends up with a donkey’s head!
We also played The Nutcracker Suite in which a little girl called Clara is given a nutcracker for Christmas. He takes her to far off lands where she meets a sugar plum fairy, soldier mice and sees dancing flowers.
Here are 2 pictures you can colour in:
