Y4 Emerald Class on the Barbican Stage

5th July 2018

Emerald Class starred in a very special concert with members of the London Symphony Orchestra this week. We invented our own animal called the Hedgodile and made music to describe how it sounds and moves, and what it does. 

At the event, the children were very professional and performed beautifully and we had lovely feedback from the LSO about how well they all knew what they were doing. It was great to hear other schools and how different their animals and sounds were. It was also really exciting to be sitting just in front of the LSO players to hear those instruments up close. They played other music from Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saens. Pink Class came along to support Emerald Class, and all of the children sang along with the song Searching for Mosquito. Well done.

Here is a recording of the full piece recorded in class the day before the show:

Pink Class composed music for a Jellyconda. Here's our first try at a full performance after a shorter session in school:

Ruby Class also completed this project in school, composing music for a Unicat!
