Lucy Hollins Presenter
Our Principal Guest Conductor, Lucy Hollins, presents a magical tale to enchant children of all ages, weaving a story of space travel and adventure through some of the greatest music ever written.
‘Lucy’s Race into Space’ is going to be an exciting mission, from the countdown to lift off, through the solar system and back down to Earth (we hope!).
Look out for John Adams’ Short Ride in a Fast Machine, a visit to Gustav Holst’s Planets, the iconic opening to Richard Strauss’ Also Sprach Zarathustra and a whole panoply of orchestral stunners, including some film classics.
Entertainment and artistry, opportunities to join in, and a brand new sing-along song written for this performance will be combined with Lucy’s inimitable charm and wit. The perfect family outing.
Book now as our family concerts sell out faster than a rocket into space!
