The Concert
LSO Family Concerts are a fun, informative way for families to experience live music together and learn more about the instruments of the orchestra. Each concert is based on a theme, with free workshops before the performance, and the opportunity for everyone to get involved by playing or singing along with the audience participation piece during the concert.
Free Crèche
There is a free crèche available for younger siblings under the age of 7. Places must be booked in advance by emailing the Barbican Box Office at tickets@barbican.org.uk or calling +44 20 7870 2500 (Monday – Friday 12–5.30pm). Please include the age of the child the place will be for.
