Children’s Christmas Concert with the Metropolitan Orchestra

Meet Elf Dan from the North Pole who has just been promoted to Number One Head Elf.  Enter into Elf Dan’s workshop with Conductor Sarah-Grace and The Metropolitan Orchestra (TMO) as he reads letters from special girls and boys to make their Christmas wishes come true.

This brand new Christmas concert written by TMO’s Artistic Director Sarah-Grace Williams and acclaimed Children’s Actor Nat Jobe, will introduce children to magical music from Tchaikovsky’s delightful Nutcracker Suite in a fun, engaging and intimate musical setting.  Children will get to sing and dance with Elf Dan to favourite Christmas Carols which will leave everyone glowing with the special magic that this wonderful time of year brings.

Joining Conductor Sarah-Grace and The Metropolitan Orchestra is our very own ‘Big Kid’ Daniel Milne, who has been entertaining children for the past three years as one fifth of ‘SplashDance!’, the high-energy music program from ABC Kids TV and Youtube.

Give your children a fun, engaging and first-class musical experience with a unique opportunity to get up close to the instruments of a symphony orchestra.  Little ones will be immersed in all the magic of Christmas while falling in love with beautiful and timeless music played by the orchestra.

All tickets are at the one low cost of just $15.00 each, available through website link.
