About the event

This event is promoted by Sinfonia Viva, Derby LIVE are pleased to act as a ticket agent.

Following last year’s amazing 'Flutter & Fly', join Sinfonia Viva once again for a magical afternoon of music that the whole family can enjoy.  

Part of this year’s nationwide Family Friendly Arts Festival, The Boat & The Blue tells the story of another of Rowan’s wonderful adventures.  This time, we set sail on the high seas with Rowan and her paper boat, and dive headfirst into an ocean teeming with life.

Presented by composer and guitarist Jack Ross, and accompanied by twelve Sinfonia Viva musicians, the concert will feature new music written by Jack, as well as a host of orchestral favourites that will give you a flavour of a life on the ocean wave, and the sort of creatures you might meet there.  Frogs, ducks, a blue whale and many more will be imaginatively portrayed by the orchestra, and complemented by the wonderful illustrations of visual artist, Eleanor Meredith, whose stunning live drawings and animation will be projected on a big screen behind the orchestra.

Before the concert, there’s the chance to explore the Rolls-Royce Learning & Development Centre, and to discover more about the engines and manufacturing that allows us to dive deep under the oceans to explore the undersea world!

Join the fun and sing along in an exciting musical journey for under 5’s and their families!
