FAMILY CONCERT: THE ROBOT AND THE BLUEBIRD

Performers

Sheena Masson
presenter
Britten Sinfonia

A wonderful and interactive live orchestral experience for children and their families. The show lasts 50 minutes, including time to learn the songs.

“My old heart only ever said tick tock,” said the Robot, “but now my heart is singing”.

This uplifting story tells the tale of a robot with a broken heart who gives his remaining strength to save the life of a little bird and rediscovers his life purpose.

With presenter Sheena Masson, Britten Sinfonia's musicians perform a newly-created musical version of the children’s book by David Lucas with specially created animations by Victor Craven and a brilliant, jazz influenced score by composer Raphael Clarkson.

The performance lasts approximately 50 minutes. It is suitable for all ages and designed especially for children aged 4 to 8.
