OAE TOTS
Bring your clapping hands and stamping feet to enjoy an interactive family concert with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
Upbeat OAE TOTS concerts invite children between the ages of two and five and their grown-ups to sit up close to orchestral musicians.
Enjoy the rhythms and melodies of music from the 17th and 18th centuries with your little ones, sharing the stage with a cast of occasionally weird – and always wonderful – instruments (it’s even better than pizza!).
It’s the concert that leaves audiences asking, ‘Can I come next time?’
