Poulenc: Babar, the Elephant
Britten: The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra
Recommended for Ages 5+

Sydney Symphony brings Jean de Brunhoff's beloved story of Babar, the Little Elephant to life with Poulenc's charming music, followed by Benjamin Britten's The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. Using a theme from the Baroque composer Henry Purcell, Britten's piece shows how the teams of players in an orchestra work together to take the audience on a lively journey towards a splendid finale.
