G Live invites families to experience classical music concert up close in Simply Strings on Saturday 30 May. This relaxed performance is designed to introduce families to classical music, and let them try the instruments afterwards. It forms part of the Up Close Concerts series, which is sponsored by local law firm, Charles Russell Speechlys.
Led by friendly professional musicians Sarah Freestone and her Quartet, the performance celebrates 150 years of Lewis Carroll’s enchanting book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Using Alice and a host of fantastical characters and weird worlds, it will introduce a wide range of classical repertoire to all the family. It will also give children the chance to try the vibrant violin, vivacious viola and the charming cello. Families will be able to explore the instruments’ unique personalities and see what a wide range of music they can create when played together.
