The discovery of true magic starts when we present Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra at the Sydney Opera House.
Benjamin Britten’s famous work is a captivating introduction to the orchestra, as it explores how musicians play instruments and the sounds each instrument makes. It’s an exciting journey from the highest notes to the lowest, from the bright blasts of brass to the silky shimmer of the strings, from the rumbling power of percussion to the smooth sound of the woodwinds.
Finally, you can hear how the orchestral sound is used with performances of two famous pieces: John Williams’ rousing theme for Indiana Jones and the enchanting song Let It Go from Disney’s Frozen!
It’s a family event designed for ages 5-12.
