Philharmonia Sessions: Family Concert
Event Details
Celebrate inspirational and pioneering women, and introduce your children to the wonderful world of the orchestra, with our fun free concert for families.
Discover a dramatic overture by Louise Farrenc, one of the leading French composers, pianists and educators of the 19th century; a cheery scherzo by Dame Ethel Smyth, a prominent campaigner for women’s suffrage; and Mary Kouyoumdjian’s “imagined journal entry by a hope-filled someone” inspired by her Armenian heritage. Sing along with Disney favorite Let it Go, and join in with a new piece for body percussion devised by House of Absolute, the Philharmonia’s new Artists in Residence.
