The Little Fir Tree

When the Little Fir Tree sees the other trees in the forest being used to make things, she wonders when her turn will come. What will life be like when she's a big, tall tree?

The Little Fir Tree wants to be as useful and important as the other trees in the forest and wonders whether she might become a boat or paper for books. One day, she is dug up out of the ground and has an exciting adventure as she becomes a reusable Christmas tree! Musicians from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Philharmonic are joined by Molly Rainford and guest trumpeter Sean Chandler to share a musical adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's famous story.
