Childhood Memories

Join the Brisbane Symphony Orchestra for a trip down memory lane as we bring back a youthful program to remind the audience and orchestra of childhood, while creating new memories for the younger members of the audience.

To kick off 2024 the orchestra will be joined by conductor Stefanie Smith to present this short program of music, complete with pre-concert foyer activities for younger members of the audience.

You will enjoy “Paddington Bear’s First Concert”, narrated by Ed LeBrocq, which follows the story of Paddington’s arrival in London, as well as 11 year old Martin Sun, winner of the 2023 Queensland Piano Competition, performing the first movement of Kabalevsky’s “Concerto no.3”.

Younger audience members of the audience will also be able to participate in pre-concert activites, including Endangered Instruments!, Conductor for Day and Storytime.
