Summary
The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra performs animal-themed works by Saint-Saëns and Debbie Wiseman at Symphony Hall, led by Tom Redmond and the CBSO’s assistant conductor.
Why it's fantastic
Hear the Swan glide across the strings and a clumsy elephant dance on the double bass in this playful one-hour menagerie. From familiar video game tunes to a modern spin on endangered species, it is a gentle, imaginative way to introduce younger listeners to the different voices of a full orchestra.
