LSO Family Concert: Folksong & Fantasy

Suitable for 7—12 year-olds

LSO Family Concert Jan 2019

Experience the spectacle of a live symphony orchestra with your family and be captivated by traditional tunes and tales of yore.

Our music and stories hail from the sparkling skies and icy mountains of northern lands, including Catch the Wind/Veiða vind – a tale of elves and dragons by author Rakel Helmsdal, all the way from the Faroe Islands.

Fun and informative, the LSO’s family concerts are specially designed to entertain the whole family. Presented in a unique and engaging way, let us guide you through a themed programme, with some music you'll know and some you won't. And it’s not just sitting in silence either – we always offer the chance to get involved by playing and singing along, and you can get into the spirit of the concert with free activities and immersive workshops in the Barbican foyers beforehand.

The performance is expected to finish around 3.30pm
