FUNharmonics Family Concert: Stan and Mabel
Meet Stan and Mabel, a city-dwelling, music-loving dog and cat, at an interactive family concert from the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Stan and Mabel love listening to their neighbour practising her musical instruments.
When she disappears to judge a competition to find the Greatest Orchestra in the World, there’s only one thing for it – they’re going to have to audition! But who will join their orchestra?
Find out as the London Philharmonic Orchestra and presenter Polly Ives tell the lively story of Stan and Mabel, based on the book by Jason Chapman with music by Paul Rissmann.
With plenty of audience interaction throughout, as well as a selection of exciting orchestral pieces your family will love, this is sure to be an unforgettable first concert experience for young music-lovers aged 5 and above.
