musical performance FOR 0-3 YEAR OLDS
by Zoë Palmer and Jack Ross
'It’s the best thing I have taken my thirteen-month-old daughter to so far.'
Spurred on by an overwhelming demand from families, libraries and Early Year’s organisations for more high-quality live performances for 0-3 years and their parents and carers, Wonderful Beast revived and developed both Orla and the Sun, and Orla’s Moon, our interactive music-theatre-storytelling shows. We were on the road for a three-week tour of libraries in Suffolk and an Early Childhood Festival in Queens Park, London, curated by Creative Futures UK. Our free booklets and CDs of the shows were snapped up by parents as a valuable legacy to be enjoyed and shared with their little ones.
Audio versions of the stories have now been made available online through Shining Cat, and you can listen at Orla and the Sun / Orla's Moon, or here on Spotify.
Orla and the Sun and Orla’s Moon CDs are now available to buy from Wonderful Beast at a cost of £10 plus £3 postage and packaging. Please email [email protected] to order.
