What better way to introduce children to the sounds of the orchestra than Saint-Saëns’ beloved Carnival of the Animals?
With plodding double-bass elephants, pecking piano-and-string hens and graceful cello swans, this piece has all the fun and fascination of a trip to the zoo. Alex Turley’s Animalia adds an Australian twist, weaving familiar sounds of our unique wildlife into a magical companion piece.
