Welsh National Opera: Schools Concert at MAST
This free and inspiring Schools Concert offers a live orchestral experience for Key Stage 2 students and is designed to support the National Music Curriculum in Wales and England.
Aimed to inspire and increase love of music and creativity, students will be encouraged to use their voices to sing in different ranges and dynamics, clap rhythms, stamp along to different time signatures and develop an understanding of the history of music.
Fun, lively and engaging, expect popular hits and less familiar pieces from opera, film, and television, brought to life by the world class WNO Orchestra and a group of sensational soloists. The perfect opportunity to hear and enjoy live music, up close and personal, in a relaxed setting.
Alongside presenter Ruth Rosales and conductor Olivia Clarke, the music is brought to life by the world class WNO Orchestra, and a group of sensational opera singers.
There will be plenty of opportunity for everyone to interact with the music, from dancing and clapping to singing along – all while learning about dynamics, rhythm, speed and of course, the instruments that make up an Orchestra.
This concert is only available to school group bookings.
