About this event
Join Musinc for a 50-minute interactive concert, exploring French composer Camille Saint- Saëns’ delightful musical suite ‘The Carnival of the Animals’!
Alison Gill will perform the various movements depicting a variety of animals on the piano, whilst performer Jenny Chrisp creates live dance interpretations. The show will be narrated by Eleanor Mooney.
This concert will support the following areas of the Model Music Curriculum:
– Musicianship: singing in unison, performing actions alongside song and moving in time to the beat
– Listening: a live performance of music from different traditions and composers, learning about the instruments as well as the stories, origins, history and social context of the music
This concert will include live BSL interpretation.
This event is open to school groups and home educating families and has been designed with KS2 children in mind, although is suitable for all primary aged children.
