Embark on a magical mystery tour with the Royal College of Music Wind Ensemble directed by Marie Lloyd, in a joyful programme of grown-up nursery rhymes and fairytales.

Dukas’ vivid account of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice charts every step of this cautionary tale with great wit and colour. Oliver Knussen’s whimsical Winnie-the-Pooh settings reflect the warmth and wisdom of his character (he was nicknamed Big Owl by his great friend, RCM Senior Research Fellow Dr Mark-Anthony Turnage).

There is new music from RCM composer Margot Pommellet, plus Judith Bingham's intricate work for saxophones and Paul Patterson's musical take on Roald Dahl's version of The Three Little Pigs.

This concert will also be performed at St Bartholomew the Great on Thursday 6 March.
