All Aboard with Beethoven
RCV's first ever Kids' Proms!
Saturday 23 November | 11.30 am | 1.30 pm & 4.00pm
Discovery Space, PHIVE, Parramatta Square
Ludwig van Beethoven used to be a great composer, but lately he’s lost his mojo!
Seeking joy, he’s come to Parramatta to try his hand at something new: working as a cruise boat tour guide. But alas! His boat and everyone aboard has run aground on a sandbank, halting their holiday and blocking the local eels’ migration path.
If Beethoven and his new-found friend Eelvira don't refloat the boat quickly, none of them will make it to the Coral Sea!
But can humans and eels really learn to work together before the tide goes out and they all get stuck for good?
Welcome to ALL ABOARD WITH BEETHOVEN, the new kids’ proms concert from Parramatta’s own symphonic choir, River City Voices. Teaming up with Western Sydney Youth Orchestra, and featuring local Biripi actor and singer Elias Wilson, the singers of River City Voices will delight the young and young at heart with rollicking songs, pantomime, classical music, puppetry (and the occasional fart joke) in a joyous romp with an uplifting message about the importance of harmony – in more ways than one!
