Family Concerts

The CBSO put on concerts for families around four times a year. The last one was based around the Olympics and was called music for champions. It’s a lovely way to spend a couple of hours in the afternoon, especially if you would like to introduce your children to Classical music.
The choice of music is always fun, with a range of well known pieces as well as modern and specially written works. One of the concerts we went to played the Indina Jones theme as well as the Pink Panther one.
It’s a proper concert with an interval, so may not e suitable for very young ones. In practic, we take my young son along for the first half and then he goes out to have a play for the second half with a very helpful and kind grandparent. The last time we went there was a chance for the children to go on stage too, so it’s aimed squarely at the younger audience. There’s always a narrator too.
You can get value tickets if you buy in bulk and it’s well worth a try.
