Within the project, children will work with Bridgewater Hall staff, with composer Kate
Pearson and poet Terry Caffrey. Before the concert, they will be invited to a aspecial
introduction, giving them an insight into the instruments of the orchestra, the
programme, and concert etiquette. Schools may choose to use the project as the
basis for further activities, using learning resources based around science and music,
or accrediting children’s creativity through Arts Award Discover or Explore.
