BSO Curious Creatures and Adventurous Animals Family Concert

Tickets: £12, £8 under 16’s, Family (4) £32

14:30 – 15:30 Curious Creatures and Adventurous Animals – All ages Family Concert

An ensemble of musicians from across the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra invite you to join them on a musical journey through the natural world, in a programme especially for families presented by BSO Young Music leaders.

Imagine you are lying on a forest floor. The moon is shining brightly and there is a distant roar of the ocean. Listen closely and what might you hear? Perhaps a bird sings – was it a cuckoo or a nightingale? Maybe an owl swoops by you, wings outstretched, and was that a baby elephant dashing through the trees?

Expect a programme including pieces from Rimsky Korsakov’s Flight of the Bumblebee to Villa-Lobos’ Floresta do Amazonas and Bjork’s Crystalline amongst many others.

13:30 – 1415 Pre-concert family workshop with a trio of BSO Young Music leaders – free of charge and only open to concert ticket holders.

Get ready to delve into the exciting world of how music can magically bring to life the extraordinary sounds of your favourite animals!

We welcome families to join our 3 Young Music Leaders for a fun, music making session exploring the sound world of Curious Creatures and Adventurous Animals – come and join us before the concert to take part in music making with other audience members. Bring instruments along if you have any, or you can choose from those that we’ll have available. Open to family groups with children of all ages.
