Summary
Members of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra perform an adaptation of Wind in the Willows at the Library of Birmingham, featuring a chamber ensemble and presenter Jane Wright.
Why it's fantastic
Take a musical wander through the riverbank as a ten-piece ensemble brings Kenneth Grahame’s woodland creatures to life. This hour-long performance uses a mixture of instruments and storytelling to guide younger listeners through the story, making it a gentle and imaginative introduction to the sound of a live orchestra.
