The Concert
At some point in its life, everything has been lost, forgotten, or ignored in one way or another. Join presenter Paul Rissmann and the LSO on an exciting new musical adventure full of strange creatures in need of a home, and discover more about the orchestra on the way. Hear music from Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Modest Mussorgsky, Louise Farrenc and John Williams, alongside an enchanting musical setting of Shaun Tan’s award-winning story The Lost Thing.
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.
