Children’s Concerts
Whitehorse Orchestra performs a series of children’s concerts annually introducing the instruments of an orchestra to children, in a fun, colourful way. The concerts were initiated over 30 years ago by music director Gerald Keuneman OAM, whose passion for bringing fine music to children is longstanding.
The programs typically feature a story set to music, with a narrator, actors and a visual presentation depicting various scenes in the story. The instruments of the orchestra are introduced with small musical excerpts that highlight their sound.
Past concerts to name a few, have included Peter and the wolf, Paddington Bear, Babar the Elephant, Tubby the Tuba, Alice in wonderland and lots more.
This year the show is Sign of the Seahorse
