A special family-friendly performance of Stravinsky’s The Firebird, arranged for two pianos and narrator.

Originally a ballet and based on a Russian folk tale, The Firebird is about a magical glowing bird that Prince Ivan is searching for. The firebird is imprisoned in a castle with a beautiful princess. Ivan rescues the bird and the princess but then his own sister poisons him and the princess. Luckily, the firebird flies to the fountain of youth and with magic water brings Prince Ivan and his beloved princess back to life.

Sound Beginnings concerts are designed as an accessible way to experience classical music, with the environment, programme, length of recital and more tailored to be welcoming to all so that young and old (and everyone in between) can enjoy high quality live music together. Sheepdrove is a disability-inclusive venue.

After each performance there’s the chance for guests to bring their own picnics to enjoy in the gardens and grounds at Sheepdrove.
