Proms Plus Family workshops are the perfect introduction to the music you’ll be hearing at the Proms. Fun and interactive, the workshops engage with children of all ages and abilities so that they really get the most out of the music.
Tonight join Rachel Leach for a free family-friendly introduction to Prom 49. This Prom is one big fairy-tale, featuring Ravel’s enchanting Mother Goose and Szymanowski’s sparkling Songs of a Fairy Princess. There’s exciting new music from Finnish composer Jukka Tiensuu, and a happy ending, too, when Scheherazade tells her stories from the Arabian Nights in Rimsky-Korsakov’s magical masterpiece.
Professional musicians will be on hand at the workshop to bring the music to life, and if you have instruments of your own, bring them along and join in!Â
Suitable for ages 7-plus.
How to book Proms Plus Family workshops are free to attend and take place at the Royal College of Music. Workshops are unticketed so booking is not necessary but capacity is limited. Doors open 30 minutes before the events begin and entry is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Proms Plus Family workshops take place before Proms which have been selected with families in mind, so when they're finished, you can pop over to the Royal Albert Hall, sit back and relax, and enjoy the concert. Tickets for the Prom can be purchased through the Royal Albert Hall box office or you can Prom for £5 on the day.
