How the Gimquat Found Her Song
How the Gimquat Found Her Song

What is a bird if she has no song? In this enduring classic from Platypus Theatre, a rare and silent bird lives in hiding until she meets a magician who takes her on the search for a perfect song. This wonderful concert, which has enchanted audiences of all ages, is a sparkling musical journey through the history of Western music and includes excerpts from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and Bizet’s Carmen Suite.

Come to the concert half an hour early for a special pre-concert performance in the lobby by the TSO's own Associate Principal French Horn player, Christopher Gongos

Young People’s Concerts are created especially for children ages 5-12. We regret we cannot allow children under 2 years of age into any TSO
