Past Event
Sammy J hosts a special Saturday concert that will open children's eyes and ears to the magical world of the orchestra—an adventure as exciting as an expedition to Antarctica!
Much-loved classics—In the Hall of the Mountain King, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Mambo (West Side Story), and Flight of the Bumblebee—will highlight the instrumental sections of the orchestra. Brass, woodwind, percussion, and strings each have a moment to shine before everything comes together in this lively introduction to the orchestra.
Presented by one of Melbourne’s best-loved comedian-musicians, Sammy J, with the Monash Classical Collective from the Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music.
The Very Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra is part of Family Fiesta’s expedition to Antarctica this year. Join the penguin parade for an action-packed festival from Wed 9 – Sat 12 July, filled with ice play, glacier music, polar camping, krill cabaret, and more! Monash University merges science and the arts, bringing some of the latest Antarctic research and discoveries to life these school holidays.
After exploring, stop by The Count’s — lunch is sorted with a menu made for hungry adventurers! The Count’s will be open from 11am-1.30pm. A coffee van will also be available from 9am-1pm.
