The Storm Whale
Advertisement
A brand-new storybook concert, based on the modern classic book series by Benji Davies.
The Storm Whale tells the story of a child, a whale washed up on the beach, and friendships that will change their lives forever and echo down the generations. These heart-warming tales of friendship, love and courage are brought to life through music specially written to accompany the book by our 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 Stoller Hall with Music in the Round, the producers of previous popular family concerts Izzy Gimzo, Giddy Goat and Sir Scallywag. 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
With many thanks to all our funders, including: The Sarah Nulty Power of Music Foundation, The JG Graves Charitable Trust, Sheffield Town Trust and Wise Music Foundation
“Family friendly and so much fun. Both myself and my little boy loved joining in with the songs and learning new makaton signs. We’ve been singing the songs all weekend!” audience feedback
“…A fun-filled hour, jam-packed with entertainment…interactive and educational…”
“to provide this series of introductions to the purest of music is a very welcome and significant piece of theatre.”
