Join Concerteenies at Britten Pears Arts’ Summer at Snape, a month-long celebration of music and arts with more than 40 events, in Suffolk. We’ll be performing our Musical Story Blown Away, perfect for children aged 3+ and their families.

‘Penguin Blue and his friends are in for a surprise! It all starts with a windy day and a brand- new kite… Come fly away with Penguin Blue as he gets caught in a gust of wind and the adventure begins.’

Meera Maharaj (flutes), Dominic Degavino (piano) and Polly Ives (narrator) perform new music composed by award-winning Paul Rissmann, based on the book by Rob Biddulph and digital animation by Victor Craven.

The concert will also feature Saint Saens’s Aviary from Carnival of the Animals, Kaija Sarriaho’s Couleurs du Vent, Butterflying by Elena Kats-Chernin and Lord Kitchener’s calypso London is the Place for Me (featured in the film Paddington).

With songs and actions to join in with, in a relaxed and friendly environment, this is a perfect introduction to music, storytelling and animation.

Summer at Snape also features everything from bold big bands to lively folk groups, from emotive reggae renditions to enlivening choral ensembles.
Blown Away has two performances, at 11 am and 2 pm, at Britten Studio, Snape Maltings, Snape, Suffolk, IP17 1SP. Ticket booking opens on June 6.
