Creatures great and small are gathering at Symphony Hall...

Join us for a joyful afternoon where animals jump, swoop and scamper through the concert hall. From the playful magic of Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals to Debbie Wiseman’s moving tribute to endangered species, alongside some mischievous musical monkey business, this is a celebration of animals in all their forms. Expect surprises, smiles and plenty of feel-good musical storytelling the whole family will love.

Suitable for children aged 6+. All Family Concerts are British Sign Language interpreted.
