The performance opens with a thrilling showdown as two violins take centre stage in Bach’s iconic Double Violin Concerto. What begins as a dazzling duel soon transforms into a breathtaking display of harmony, showing kids that even competition can end in something beautiful when people work together.
From there, the orchestra launches into Gustav Holst’s The Planets, taking audiences on a soaring intergalactic adventure, from bold cosmic battles to sweeping soundscapes of mystery and wonder. It’s the kind of music that transports young listeners to another world and makes them feel like they’re right in the middle of the action.
The journey doesn’t stop there, get ready for Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries, a piece so powerful and familiar it will have your kids sitting taller in their seats. Add in a collection of other instantly recognisable tunes, and you have got a concert experience that will have the whole family buzzing long after the final note fades.
Best of all, Settle the Score isn’t just about great music, it is about making the joy of live performance accessible to everyone. The ASO is offering a Relaxed performance, specially designed for families of children with sensory, communication or learning needs. These sessions provide a welcoming environment where audiences can engage with the music in a way that feels comfortable for them.
Whether it is your family’s first taste of orchestral music or you are seasoned concertgoers, Settle the Score promises an unforgettable adventure through sound, space, and story.
