This Zoological fantasy has enchanted children for decades, and now I am thrilled to announce a live concert of extracts from the suite, combined with a less well known Carnival of Animals by Malcolm Arnold. We can’t perform all of the pieces by Saint-Saens because we don’t have TWO pianists, so instead we are adding a few dazzling pieces by Walton, Rossini and Strauss. Put together and you have a fizzling afternoon of furry and feathered musical fun!
This concert will take place on Sunday October 14th at 3pm. It will be at the Friends’ School Hall, Mount Pleasant Road, Saffron Walden CB11 3EB. The Uttlesforde Orchestra will be performing the music with conductor Richard Hull, and I will be illustrating live. The pictures will be raffled for charity – so you could win an original!
This event is presented by the Words in Walden Book Festival.

And the other project? A little bit premature to go into huge detail, but an illustrated interactive ipad app of The Carnival of the Animals has been discussed and an offer made to me by Naxos Records.
So watch this space!
