Pepper The Monkey And The Rainbow Circus

PRINCIPAL PLAYERS
OF AURORA ORCHESTRA

AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE

Part of Aurora Orchestra Residency series.

PRESENTED BY Melbourne Festival and JESSIE MARYON DAVIES

Aurora Orchestra presents a magical blend of storytelling, theatre and classical music in this special series of performances for children under five.

The adventures of Pepper the mischievous monkey and her friends are set to enchanting new chamber arrangements of Robert Schumann’s famous children’s compositions (such as Albumblätter, Carnival and Album for the Young). Pepper the Monkey will sweep your child up on a fantastical, multi-sensory adventure.

An interactive and immersive marvel of orchestral theatre, Pepper the Monkey is a delightful way to introduce your child to the wonders of classical music.
