It includes Anderson’s The Waltzing Cat, Gershwin’s Walking the Dog, Strauss’ The Dragonfly and The Cuckoo Polka, Saint-Saens’ The Elephant, Elgar’s The Wild Bears, Scott’s The Penguin and Rimsky-Korsakov’s famed Flight of the Bumblebee.

Associate Conductor of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO), Michael Seal will lead the MPO and Malloy to steer magic in the family-themed concerts.

He has conducted many of the UK’s finest orchestras such as the BBC Symphony Orchestra and BBC Philharmonic as well as the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.

Internationally, he has conducted the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra and Norwegian Radio Orchestra.

His love of opera led to critically acclaimed performances of Puccini’s Il Trittico at the Birmingham Conservatoire.

A champion of lesser-known British composers, Seal enjoys programming interesting repertoire and exploring connections between composers.

Join in the fun and explore exotic creatures on this safari adventure on September 15 at 2.30pm and 4.30pm.
