Wow! Our Year 1 children were so excited to sit in the massive Barbican Hall as part of a big audience at the London Symphony Orchestra Concert. The Orchestra played pieces from The Carnival of the Animals by French composer Camille Saint-Saens. We also heard pieces from Malcolm Arnold's less well known Carnival of the Animals. The funniest bit was when the orchestra played the Can-Can from the Tortoise music, but at full speed. All of the children in the hall were bouncing up and down on their chairs. Read our write-ups below to find out more.
You can also listen to the whole of the Carnival of the Animals online:
