The Carnival of the Animals
Hear the animal kingdom brought to life inside York Minster as young listeners are guided through Camille Saint-Saëns’ The Carnival of the Animals performed on the cathedral’s Grand Organ. The perfect introduction to classical music.
The familiar and accessible composition will be accompanied by a narrator sharing fun facts about the wild animals that roam through Saint-Saëns’ creation and York Minster’s history, and will include the chance to get up-close to the organ to see how the instrument is played.
The short, family-sized exploration of the organ, given by Benjamin Morris, will take place on Wednesday 28 May at 7pm.
Tickets cost £7 for children and £10 for adults. A family ticket for two adults and two children is also available, priced at £30. Children over the age of 18 months need their own seat.
Tickets are available via yorkminster.org or by calling 01904 557200.
