Take your little ones on a race to a new planet! At The Stoller Hall this March, teams of musical astronauts are all competing to be the first to explore SH-009. Children aged three plus and their families will be taken on a journey into outer space, discovering music from Holst’s famous work The Planets, as well as other extra-terrestrial musical worlds. En route, little explorers will learn about sound and nature and the positive impact music can have on the environment. Spacesuits optional.
