About Recitals for Wrigglers
Sail Away is a fun, educational and interactive show for babies and toddlers presented by Recitals for Wrigglers at the Young Room. The programme of music carries a theme of water and includes a musical version of Hans Christian Anderson's story of the Lucky Toy Soldier. A professional violinist and professional cellist perform a selection of carefully chosen music, and instruments are provided so the little ones can join in with familiar songs. Wriggling is actively allowed. The show runs for 35 minutes and babies are required to have a paid ticket.
Why see this show?
Live classical music for the very youngest audience members — babies and toddlers are welcome to wriggle, join in and explore instruments. The water theme and storytelling make the programme accessible and engaging for the whole family.
