Hop like a kangaroo, stomp like a troll and glide like a mysterious creature swimming in the ocean!Fasten your seatbelts as we set off on a musical adventure to faraway lands in search of the missing glissando! Where should we explore first — the circus tent, the lion enclosure at the zoo, the depths of the ocean, or the deepest, darkest woods? Along the way, we’ll meet strange and wonderful characters, uncover musical clues, and have plenty of fun as we journey ever closer to finding the missing glissando.Blending movement, imagination and live music, the session invites children to explore melodies in a way that feels natural, joyful and memorable. Children will also have the chance to play the festival piano and become part of the story themselves.Festival director Annie Ball draws on over two decades of teaching and performing experience to create an engaging, playful introduction to piano music for younger listeners.Children of all ages and their families are welcome.
