SUMMARY:Family Shakespeare: Pyramus & Thisbe
DESCRIPTION:The Rude Mechanicals have been asked to perform a play at the Duke’s wedding. Trouble is\, they’ve forgotten to write it! Can you help??? \nDo you remember Pyramus & Thisbe? The romantic tragedy that Bottom & The Rude Mechanicals were asked to perform for the Duke in A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM? \nIn this interactive theatre experience\, the audience put their heads together to add the finishing touches to the Rude Mechanicals’ play\, helping to create a completely original version! Combining Shakespeare’s original text with fresh ideas from the audience\, the play is fleshed out with music\, props\, puppets\, rhymes\, sound effects & killer dance moves\, resulting in a completely fabulous and totally unique performance! \nEach show follows a simple narrative structure that the audience helps develop\, encouraging kids to use their imagination as they construct characters\, write songs\, create stories\, invent sound effects\, and more. Each choice enhances their storytelling skills\, exposes them to the infinite possible storylines a tale can take\, and leaves them with a huge sense of pride in their comedy\, musicality and creativity. And because so much of the show is led by the audience\, you’ll never see the same show twice! \nOur shows can be enjoyed by kids of all ages\, and grown-ups too! \nFor participation\nThe show is best suited for ages 5 years and above\, but for younger audiences\, there is plenty of music\, colour\, and silly comedy to be the perfect spectacle from a lap! \nHullabaloo are passionate about making theatre accessible and encouraging on-your-feet\, wild\, inventive fun where kids can get creative\, free their imagination\, discover some hidden talents\, and learn some of the best theatre ever written.

SUMMARY:Music Hath No Borders - South African Buskaid Ensemble in Concert - 21.08.26
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a magical fundraising concert with ten members of the internationally renowned South African Buskaid Ensemble – a performance of live classical music from Handel and Elgar to township Kwela music. \nThis is a poignant venue for Buskaid: Buskaid’s Founder\, Rosemary Nalden\, is the daughter of the late Charles Nalden CBE\, one of Coram’s most distinguished foundlings. The Buskaid musicians are themselves no strangers to hardship: like Coram\, Buskaid offers transformative opportunities for less advantaged young people. \nFor this musical celebration\, Rosemary has chosen music to link both charities\, including the Chaconne from Terpsichore by Handel\, Coram’s most famous benefactor\, and Elgar’s Sospiri\, honouring Rosemary’s father\, an accomplished harpist who loved the music of Edward Elgar. The concert will end with a rousing burst of township ‘Kwela’ music\, arranged by the Buskaid musicians themselves. \nTickets and Timings \nTickets can be booked on Eventbrite. \nAll tickets include a welcome drink\, and private access to the Foundling Museum‘s exhibition\, including the special exhibition display\, 300 Years of the ‘Rival Queens’: Handel’s 1726 Opera Season. \n6 pm: Access to the Foundling Museum for all guests. \n7 pm-9 pm: Concert with interval. \nAbout Buskaid \nThe Buskaid Music School was founded by Rosemary Nalden in 1997 in response to requests from the less privileged local community in Diepkloof Soweto. At its inception\, it comprised just 15 children; its current membership stands at 82. To meet this demand\, in 2002 Buskaid initiated a teacher-training course for all its students; all the musicians playing tonight are employed by Buskaid as highly-skilled string teachers. \nThe Buskaid Ensemble is world-renowned for its high-performance standards and its innate grasp of musical style\, and as a result\, has undertaken 28 international tours to Europe and the Americas. It is the only African orchestra to have performed at the BBC Proms. \nThe Ensemble has collaborated with many distinguished artists such as Sir John Eliot Gardiner\, Melvyn Tan\, Steven Isserlis and Karl Jenkins. It has performed in the presence of numerous dignitaries\, notably the late Nelson Mandela\, Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II\, King Charles III\, and Michelle Obama. \nProgramme \nJean-Philippe Rameau – Air pour les Guerriers; Entrée De Polymnie; Contredanses I & II \nHenry Purcell – Fairest Isle; Rondeau; If Love’s a Sweet Passion; Chaconne \nEdward Elgar – Sospiri (Sighs) \nJean Sibelius – Impromptu \nGeorge Frideric Handel – Terpsichore HWV 8b: Chacconne \nKwela\, Afro-jazz and Afro-pop (Arr. Buskaid musicians) \nBook Classical String Ensembles for Events in the UK via Music for London.
