London Philharmonic Orchestra

FUNharmonics Family Concert - The Sea.

Everyone dreams - so whatever your age, as the theme from In the Night Garden begins, prepare your imagination for a fantastical musical journey and a surreal dreamtime experience. The sights and sounds along the way may enchant or terrify: Debussy’s Prelude depicts and unusual beast - half-goat, half man - dozing and dreaming in the hot woodland. The clock strikes twelve and Death pays a visit to earth, his nightmarish violin bringing the skeletons to life to dance for just one night. Order is restored with music from Oscar-winning composer, Dario Marianelli, following which sleepy children may wish to rest as we listen to some beautiful classical lullabies. Finally, there’s just time to catch The Polar Express for adventures anew at the North Pole before...the dreaded wakeup call!

Foyer Events throughout the morning. You can try your hand at playing an orchestral instrument in one of our Have-a-Go sessions, get your face painted or join our human orchestra - in the foyers before and after the performance.
