KS1 Hybrid Concert: Dinosaur Disco
Stomposaurus, Crashosaurus-Bang and friends invite you to join them on their exciting Jurassic adventure alongside musicians from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Discover our friendly dinosaurs who will introduce children to the building blocks of music in an interactive exploration of symphonic repertoire, including works by Stravinsky, Elgar and Tchaikovsky. Designed to capture little imaginations, our Key Stage 1 hybrid concert aims to explore the themes of rhythm, timbre, pitch, dynamics, texture and tempo while providing unforgettable fun and inspiring musicians and audiences of the future.
"We absolutely loved our first Dino Disco session. To be honest it’s one of the best things I’ve seen. The mix of live, animation and pre-recorded music kept the children totally engaged and they were completely engrossed with the whole experience. What a fantastic platform on which to build our future class music."

KS2 Hybrid Concert: The CBSO Escape Room Challenge
KABOOM! Oh no! Our orchestra has exploded, and our poor musicians are scattered behind 4 locked doors…
Join a CBSO musician as they accompany our KS2 film through a series of musical escape room challenges. Each activity is designed around the curriculum to help build an understanding of the six interrelated dimensions of music: metre, harmony, melody, dynamics, articulation and ostinato.
"We just wanted to let you know how much our children and staff enjoyed the Escape Room workshop. The whole experience was extremely engaging and really well delivered. The children enjoyed getting swept away with the theme of the workshop and were thrilled when they had freed all of the musicians! Hearing a CBSO musician play was also a highlight - there were some very mesmerised faces in the room. A great workshop - we will definitely be booking some more workshops for next year. Many thanks."
Teacher - Hillary Primary School
