The Concert
Join presenter Rachel Leach and the LSO as they explore Hector Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique and embark on a spooky adventure, featuring a dream, a witch and a waltz!
LSO Family Concerts are a fun, informative way for families to experience live music together and learn more about the instruments of the orchestra. Each concert is based on a theme, with free workshops before the performance, and the opportunity for everyone to get involved by playing or singing along with the audience participation piece during the concert.
