LAUNCHED 15 MAY: £1 tickets for Children
Thursday, April 29th, 2010Discover Classical Music
Ever been frustrated that you can’t get a babysitter for a concert? Don’t bother, as The Eight Seasons on Saturday 15 May is ideal to introduce children aged 6+ to the classical concert. The concert has been specially designed to be accessible for all the family so you can enjoy the excitement of an orchestral concert together.
‘We’ve never been brave enough to take him to a classical concert before because we were worried he’d make a noise or get bored, but he lapped up every minute.’
THE EIGHT SEASONS
Oxford Philomusica’s recently appointed new leader, Tamás András, will make his solo debut with the orchestra in a fascinating double bill featuring Vivaldi’s much loved and familiar Four Seasons juxtaposed with Astor Piazzolla’s Four Seasons of Buenos Aires. The glorious Baroque concertos will be followed by the Argentinian master of tango’s vibrant and passionate twentieth century work.
The concept that at any given moment the two hemispheres of our planet have opposite seasons – eight in total – is the inspiration for this novel combination of works, all of which are lively, engaging pieces and extremely child-friendly. Doors open at 7pm for families with a treasure trail, FREE activity packs and musical craft activities during the interval.
Tickets £37, £26, £17.50, £10 (child tickets ½ price or £1 in the Upper Gallery) on 020 8450 1060
NEWS: Insect invaders flock to Oxford concert
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010
LADYBIRDS and bumblebees flew into Oxford Town Hall for a celebration of musical fun.
A creepy-crawly concert entitled Bugs was staged by Oxford Philomusica, the city’s professional symphony orchestra, yesterday.
Numbers included the Ugly Bug Ball by the Sherman Brothers, which featured in the 1963 Disney animation Summer Magic, and The Flight of the Bumble Bee by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.
Hundreds of children dressed as bugs tapped their feet to the well-known tunes during the show presented by Alasdair Malloy.
While the musicians were warming up, children had their faces painted and perfected their costumes with insect antennae.
