Take a trip to a musical zoo with this concert perfect for people new to classical music, young or just young at heart!

Peter's famous encounter with a wolf is an illustated guide to the instruments of the orchestra, while the Carnival of the Animals paints sound-pictures of a whole zoo full of creatures, from the ferocious lion to the graceful swan, stopping along the way to visit the toirtoises, elephants, kangaroos, wild asses, fish, birds, fossils, pianists and people with long ears!

If that wasn't enough, three Dirty Beasts are brought vividly to life in Roald Dahl's ryhming verses set to music: the pig, the crocodile and the dreaded 'tummy beast'
