THE CHIMPANZEES OF HAPPYTOWN

Sunday 26 February 2012, 3.00pm
Ensemble 360 with Narrator Polly Ives

Maidment Hall, Shrewsbury School, SY3 7BA

Follow the story of Chutney the chimp as he and his beautiful tree help to spread colour and happiness throughout the town.

Following last year’s sell-out tour, Ensemble 360 and Polly Ives present this brand new piece for 2-7 year olds. Music in the Round’s Children’s Composer in Residence Paul Rissmann has written this imaginative and inspirational piece based on the children's book, The Chimpanzees of Happytown by Giles Andreae (illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees and published by Orchard Books). With projections of the images from the book and lots of audience participation, this concert is ideal for engaging young children in high quality music, as well as firing up their imaginations. Join Ensemble 360 musicians for more musical fun in the foyer after the concert.
