Family Concert
Live from Snape Maltings Concert Hall, Suzy Klein hosts a fun Britten concert for children of all ages, including The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra with CΒι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Johny Pitts.
Live from Snape Maltings, Suzy Klein presents a fun concert for children of all ages. It includes Britten's virtuoso introduction to the family of orchestral instruments, 'The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra' (with CΒι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Johny Pitts as narrator) and 'SoirΓ©es Musicales', his sparkling arrangement of Rossini tunes. The boy from Lowestoft who became one of the greatest of English composers would surely have relished the three specially commissioned choruses by young composers sung by local schools' choirs. And the concert begins with his last ever piece, the jolly 'Welcome Ode', also written for Suffolk schoolchildren.
