Concerts for Under-5s

Interactive concerts for mini music-makers.

LSO musicians retell a children’s story through music, taking children under 5 on a magical journey. While LSO St Luke’s is closed for much of 2025, for a programme of works and upgrades, you can find our Storytelling Concerts at the Barbican, in the Fountain Room – and we’ll be back at LSO St Luke’s from Autumn 2025.
