Approved

Strap in for the ride of your life as dynamic musician and presenter Jessie Grimes leads an interactive musical exploration bringing the infernal dance of Stravinsky’s The Firebird to life! 
 
Before Harry Potter’s Fawkes the Phoenix there was the Firebird, a magical, dancing creature with flaming feathers. Stravinsky’s ballet score sees young Prince Ivan enlisting this majestic bird’s help to rescue 13 princesses from the clutches of an evil ogre, Kastchei the Immortal. 
 
This drama-filled score sweeps along with cinematic grandeur, creating one vivid image after another guaranteed to enchant, delight and thrill. 
 
For this family friendly concert, the National Symphony’s Orchestra and Chief Conductor, Jaime Martín, perform highlights from this neon-bright masterpiece to help ignite a love of classical music in children and adults alike. 
 
Designed for families with children aged eight and above, all are welcome. 
 
This is a relaxed, ASD-friendly performance.
