| Where: | St Martin-in-the-Fields, Trafalgar Square, London, WC2N 4JJ |
Treat your children to John Landor’s Mini Maestro Family Concerts (from ages 4-12).
Where else can they have such hands-on fun with live music: sitting in the orchestra, conducting, beating the drums, clapping and singing along?
We bring the music alive by story-telling, miming and exploring its meanings.
There are specially adapted games of ‘hide and seek’, ‘musical chairs’ and a chance to hear the instruments close-up as our friendly musicians go ‘walkabout’ in the audience.
It’s a journey of discovery, imagination and inspiration, creative, educational and fun.
