A Brush with Music
Sunday

3.00 PM
The Henrietta Barnett School Hall
James Mayhew, illustrator and author
Suitable for children aged 5+; all children must be accompanied by an adult
Music tells stories, and many great composers were inspired by myths and folktales. James Mayhew’s unique way of presenting classical concerts has him joining musicians to narrate and illustrate live on stage during performances; the illustrations are projected onto a screen so that audience can watch the pictures grow in time to the music – this afternoon’s inspiration is the brothers Grimm Bremen Town Musicians accompanied by a quartet from Fantasia Orchestra. Tickets £10 per adult, £2 per child
Click here to join the £5 Raffle for a chance to win one of four Mayhew original works of art!
