During half-term last month, a series of 'Lullaby Concerts' took place across Suffolk. These were given by City of London Sinfonia (CLS), one of the country's most famous chamber orchestras, and presented by specialist musician Claire Bloor. The project was made possible thanks to a county-wide partnership led by Orchestras Live, the national development agency for orchestral music in England.
At venues in Sudbury, Debenham, Halesworth and Bury St Edmunds, the Lullaby Concerts introduced children aged five and under to live orchestral music in a fun, enchanting and accessible way. Each concert included a mixture of short orchestral pieces, such as 'Fantasia on Greensleeves' and 'Flight of the Bumblebee', as well as nursery rhymes, and contained lots of singing and other participation for the audiences.
