We are currently trialling the provision of a quiet space in the Stalls Lounge, next to Door 4 (Level -1). Dogs Don’t runs less than an hour but packs in walks in the park, ballet class, dream section, meetings with other dogs and the actual ballet.

Schools Concerts | London Symphony Orchestra

The above list is composed of those whose work we feature regularly and have generally contributed in the last few months. Biff is obviously the star, as is Anna, biff’s young owner, but we all loved to hate Miss Polly: an over-the-top 1930’s harridan of a ballet teacher complete with stick and memories of past triumphs, probably on the pier at Rhyl rather than in Paris or St. The delightfully quirky designs are by Gary Harris – I particularly love his tutu covered in bone motifs. Our Schools Concerts at the Barbican are designed especially for Key Stages 1 and 2 and Secondary School audiences, and feature music based on a theme, presented in a fun and educational way. We normally offer at least two Key Stage 1 and two Key Stage 2 concerts per term, and one Secondary School concert per year.Right man for the job and he uses a great selection of well-known classical excerpts from Tchaikovsky, Strauss and Faure all of which sound fresh and not in need of a twerking up for youngsters. If you are attending with young people who have specific hearing access needs, please get in touch to let us know how we can support you. All teachers will receive a Project Pack which outlines the classroom activities and includes any additional resources to help prepare their pupils for the concert, including those who are not able to attend the INSET day. Priority is given to any schools who applied for the previous two consecutive terms but were not allocated tickets.

One of the great initiatives we’ve seen in UK dance over the last few years has been the creation of special pieces for kids, generally those under eight.

Shortlisted for a Roald Dahl prize, it tells the story of Biff, a doggie who likes doing ballet, wants to do class like his young owner, but isn’t allowed to by the horrid Miss Polly. All concerts are fully wheelchair accessible, and there are spaces for wheelchair users in row U at the rear of the Stalls and the back row of the Circle, both with fold-down companion seats. The scene changes are, for most part, slickly done on the fly and all the characters are sketched and acted big so you know what’s happening.
