ARTISTS Greg Stephens conductor Bryony Geeves narrator PROGRAM YU The Little Gecko HAMILTON The Ugly Sound Julian Yu’s The Little Gecko and Gordon Hamilton’s The Ugly Sound are specially-written works for young children in which music and narrative tell heart-warming stories. In each story, young entities – a gecko, a musical sound – go on a quest and come home having learnt something about the world. Stories with life lessons, they encourage young children to understand difference and to appreciate the qualities that make each of us unique. These Family Classics concerts will take place in The Hedberg, adjacent to the Theatre Royal. A smaller venue than Federation Concert Hall, The Hedberg will allow for an intimate, up-close experience for you and your children.
