About this performance

Classic American music in an unforgettable first concert experience for all the family.

Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring tells the story of a bride and a groom, anticipating their future in America over 100 years ago. First composed for ballet, the luminous music makes you want to dance and sing, and includes the famous ‘Simple gifts’ folk melody, as well as a very loud musical alarm clock!

Bring the whole family and join the London Philharmonic Orchestra for a lively concert of celebration, optimism and fabulous American music. Presenter Rachel Leach will tell the story from the stage, breaking down the music and keeping the young audience engaged and joining in!
