musical adventures Some of the most popular pieces in orchestral music “Tom Redmond makes orchestras fun. He makes the children listen. He’s inspirational. Absolutely brilliant.” Steve Pickett, Education Director, Hallé Orchestra “a charismatic, engaging and amusing presenter who has the consummate knack of making classical music seem relevant to us all.” Les Pratt, Producer, BBC Radio 3 and Ten Pieces
Stories and fairytales, fantasy and adventure Trolls, ogres, villains and fairies abound in the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra’s Musical Adventures as do favourite excerpts from movies and ballets, the symphonic and operatic repertoire with influences from Shakespeare to Star Wars! An array of orchestral favourites includes excerpts from Stravinsky’s Firebird, Grieg’s Peer Gynt, Ravel’s Mother Goose, Rossini’s William Tell Overture, Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and John Williams’ Star Wars. Musical Adventures is all about capturing the imagination of children and teachers, experiencing the power of a live orchestra, and introducing the individual instruments and instrument families. It’s about orchestras being fun, about participation and about guiding children and teachers through a live orchestral experience. Chanting, singing and storytelling all feature. Participation and learning during and after the concerts are key elements. Included in the ticket price will be takeaway programme notes for all children and teachers, and two lesson plans for teachers so that learning and musical discovery can continue in the classroom.
