Mendelssohn and the Moving Machines (for grown-ups)

Fri 25 June 2027
7:30 pm, Hall Two, Kings Place

Beep beep, adults aboard! Are you ready for a musical adventure?

Have you ever sat in a children’s concert and wondered ‘what would this be like if there weren’t any children here?’

Here is your chance to find out. Aurora’s principal players and storyteller Jessie Maryon-Davies have been presenting the Far Far Away series (storytelling concerts for children aged 0-5) for the past 15 years and have discovered that there is a lot of fun to be had if you present these concerts to an audience of grown-ups (after the children have gone to bed). 

Grab a drink and take the opportunity to jump aboard the moving machines with Fanny Mendelssohn; conduct a steam train, lie underneath floating hot air balloons, help a unicorn cross the road and sing with the sailing ships. This performance will fill your heart, tickle your funny bone and delight your inner child.

“Once again Aurora breaks boundaries in an AMAZING AND BRILLIANT way. Thank you” – audience member 

There are two seating options: mats on the floor or chairs. You can choose where you want to sit on the night, but both seating options will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis.
