EARLY LEARNING
RED RiDiNG HOOD
A unique version of the folk tale “Little Red Riding Hood”, this
entertaining production was created by TSO violinist Alison
Lazaroff-Somssich. Red Riding Hood can be performed in
smaller venues and introduces children to an instrument from
each section of the orchestra.
Please submit expressions of interest to Jenny Compton

Mini TSO
Sometimes the best place to experience the TSO is on the floor
of the TSO Studio. Or on mum or dad’s lap! Toddlers and young
children respond innately to music and at Mini TSO concerts
they get to sing, clap, dance, sway and maybe even conduct the
orchestra. Sitting close to the musicians, children experience
music in a totally uninhibited and creative setting. Mini TSO is
the perfect introduction to music for the very young person in
your life.

SCHOOL CONCERTS
the little
Julian Yu’s The Little Gecko and Gordon Hamilton’s The Ugly Sound are specially-
written works for children in which music and narrative tell heart-warming stories.
In each story, young entities – a gecko, a musical sound – go on a quest and
come home having learnt something about the world. Stories with life lessons, they
encourage young children to understand difference and to appreciate the qualities
that make each of us unique.
These School concerts will take place in The Hedberg, adjacent to the Theatre
Royal. A smaller venue than Federation Concert Hall, The Hedberg will allow for an
intimate, up-close experience for students and teachers.

SCHOOL CONCERTS
What do you do when it’s ‘Bring Your Pet to Work Day’ and your pet happens to be a dragon? It’s not
as if you can bring it to work on a leash or in a pet carrycase. Or can you…?
This concert mixes a zany story by Jenny Compton with orchestral favourites, including movements
from Grieg’s Peer Gynt. A terrific introduction to the orchestra, My Pet Dragon guarantees a
memorable orchestral experience for primary school students and their teachers.

SCHOOL CONCERTS
Juanita the Spanish Lobster
When you’re a lobster you’re pretty much free to roam, right? Wrong!
Juanita the Spanish lobster – who is bored in her deep-sea grotto –
dreams of a bigger, wider world. But she soon discovers that if you’re a
crustacean there are places you should try to avoid, one of them being
a lobster pot.
grades
The story of Juanita the Spanish Lobster comes replete with a Spanish-
inspired soundtrack, including fiery melodies, flamenco rhythms and
3-8
the clackety-clack of castanets. John X brings his trademark madcap
humour to the role of narrator.
Also includes orchestral works by Mendelssohn, Stanhope and Chabrier. Duration 60 minutes
