Concerts for Schools - Stan and Mabel and the Race for Space

Music in the Round invites your EY / KS1 setting to take part in a brilliant music project in autumn 2017. Ensemble 360 and narrator Polly Ives have become firm favourites with children aged 3 – 7 years with brilliant newly commissioned pieces of music by Children’s Composer in Residence Paul Rissmann. Recent successes include Sir Scallywag and the Battle of Stinky Bottom, The Chimpanzees of Happytown and Stan and Mabel.

Following on from the popular Stan and Mabel, Music in the Round are commissioning both the new music by Paul Rissmann and a new story and illustrations by Jason Chapman.
