Presented by Heather Williams and John Gough

A brand new and exciting educational experience - a concert with a difference.

The concert takes the form of a journey, transporting the children from the sacred temples in ancient China to the mighty pyramids in Egypt. There are many stops along the way to explore the strange and exotic sounding reed and bamboo instruments that are found in the far corners of the world. During the journey there will be plenty of opportunities for the children to participate. As well as experiencing the thrill of a live performance, the children will learn about pitch, tempo, dynamics and much much more.

Hear the cor anglais, the haunting sound of the Turkish Duduk, the brilliant sound of the Chinese Shawm, the comic sound of the Indian Snake Charming Been and many more. How did the Pan-pipes get their name? What is a Moszmat?

The performances last approximately one hour. The 10.30am performance is recommended for Key Stage 1 and 2pm for Key Stage 2. Visit their website for more information www.reedallaboutit.com
