BSO's free schools concerts are back with another specially themed concert featuring music inspired by the night time with a sprinkling of magic.

The concert features an exciting selection of repertoire that will take the audience on a journey through the magical night. We will be exploring the night sky, the marvellous moon and stars, and some magical film music. There will also be the premiere of James Redwood’s participatory piece, Cant’ Get To Sleep.
