Join us for a beautiful storybook concert, based on the modern classic book series by Benji Davies:THE STORM WHALE tells the story of a child, and a whale washed up on the beach, exploring the themes of friendship and family that echo down the generations.
Benji Davies’ heart-warming tales of friendship, love and courage are brought to life through music specially written to accompany the book by Children’s Composer-in-Residence, Paul Rissmann.
Perfect for 3 to 7 year-olds and their families, this illustrated and narrated storybook concert is brought to life by Music in the Round, the producers of previous popular family concerts including Giddy Goat. It is a wonderful introduction to a live concert experience, brimming with wonderful music, memorable songs, images from the book and plenty of chances to join in.
"The Storm Whale tells a simple but powerful story about loneliness and the love between a parent and child… The world may be as big and lonely and incomprehensible as the ocean, but still it’s possible to find tremendous, heart-stopping tenderness." - The New York Times (on the book)
“The musicians did a wonderful job of introducing the young audience to enjoyment of the theatre, live music and engaging story-telling. Proof of their success [were] the lines of excited children coming up to meet the musicians who had gathered in the foyer with their instruments." - The Yorkshire Post
