Step into a magical world of music and storytelling at Prokofiev’s children’s classic Peter and the Wolf. 

Following their sold-out The Carnival of the Animals Family Concert, Chromatica Orchestra return to Battersea Arts Centre with another musical adventure where instruments come to life and imaginations run wild.

Join fearless hero Peter as he outsmarts the sneaky wolf and saves his animal friends.

This concert is the perfect way to introduce young ears to the brilliant sounds of a live orchestra. Whether your youngster is a budding maestro or just loves a good story, they will be enthralled and enchanted as the flute flutters like a bird, the clarinet slinks like a cat, and French horns prowl like a big, bad wolf.

Enjoy a fun-filled afternoon packed with drama, delight, and just a dash of danger.
