Dorset’s rural arts charity Artsreach is thrilled to partner with Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra this winter, bringing a programme especially for families to The Exchange in Sturminster Newton.
An ensemble of fourteen musicians from across Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra invites families to join them on a musical journey through the natural world. Travel on this symphonic venture through verdant forests and across the open ocean. Embrace the wild with a catchy Mancini tune and Elgar’s spirited The Wild Bears. Explore the elements with Williams’ ode to the sea and de Falla’s frenzied Ritual Fire Dance and enjoy an orchestral adaptation of a popular work by Björk with music that delves into emotions of the heart through the crystallisation of minerals and rocks. The sing-a-long favourite from the blockbuster Moana and Vaughan Williams’ musical flight of the lark completes the programme.
Proudly presented by Artsreach and The Exchange in partnership with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, this adventurous afternoon is an escapade fit for all to join, taking place at 3pm on Sunday 15 December.
Lucy Warren, Head of BSO Participate, said “Our Curious Creatures BSO On Your Doorstep family concerts are designed especially for children and families – giving the youngest audience the opportunity to connect with music and musicians of the BSO. With a programme journeying through a rich tapestry of sound worlds inspired by our magnificent planet, from elephants and bears to wild oceans and crystals, we can’t wait to connect – and perform with! – an audience of all ages in Sturminster Newton next month.”
