Hear the animal kingdom brought to life inside York Minster as young listeners are guided through Camille Saint-Saëns’ 'The Carnival of the Animals' performed on the cathedral’s Grand Organ. The perfect introduction to classical music. The familiar and accessible composition will be accompanied by a narrator sharing fun facts about the wild animals that roam through Saint-Saëns’ creation and York Minster’s history, and will include the chance to get up-close to the organ to see how the instrument is played. Craft activities will be available throughout the concert.
The short, family-sized exploration of the organ, given by Benjamin Morris, will take place on Tuesday 26 May at 6.30pm.
