classical concerts for babies / children

[lucyA1308]

Would you be interested in taking your baby / toddler / young child to informal classical concerts, designed specifically for parent / carer and children?

Concerts like this take place all over london, and charge from ?8-10 for a 45 min concert, and refreshments.

If these concerts took place once a month, would this be something you would be interested in taking your little ones to, and would this be a suitable price per concert.

All concerts would be given by highly experienced classical musicians, and presented well to appeal to all ages attending the concerts.

Please give any feed back.

Thank you.

yes, I would love to take my 2-year-old along to this kind of thing!

I would be interested, my 4 yr old would love it and I've been keeping an eye out for something.

Hi, there is already the fab Classics for my Baby held at St. Barnabas church once a month on a Friday, so probably better not to clash with that.

Yes, i have seen about the ones which take place once a month in Dulwich Village, and would made sure I didn't clash with that. There will be people who can't get to those, but in any case, I would try to make sure that they dove tailed in with each other.

i am glad that responses have been positive so far. it gives me encouragement. I'll let you all know.

[Dudley]

Yes , I would attend. Currently cannot attend the Friday one.

I would certainly be interested in classical concrete which are toddler friendly. I have attended the Classics with my Baby concerts since they began in Dulwich, but I find them less suitable the older my son gets. He is an inquisitive, active toddler who would benefit from more interactive concerts. I appreciate that such a concert would most probably be more difficult to organise and run, but incredibly rewarding - I feel bad having to stop my son from joining in and playing the piano for example!

Friday mornings or weekends work for us.

Hi there - great to see so much interest in classical concerts for babies and toddlers!

This is why Miaomiao and I set up the classical concert series, Classics with my Baby. As mums we firmly believe in the benefits of exposure to music and have seen our own sons thriving on our endless practice and concert performances!! We want other children to have the opportunity to hear and see the instruments close up.

We were delighted to read this rave review of our concerts from Gramophone magazine, one of the top music magazines in the world.

Have a look at our videos and photos on our website to see the different ways our audience of all ages enjoys the music.

Some of our recent feedback:

Best thing we've done in a while @classicswmbaby. Beautiful music & lots of space for wandering kiddiwinks. Recommend.

I had so much fun!

A concert where my children can dance and move to the music as well as see all the instruments without being hushed! Dream come true!

~ Sylvia Chan, mother of 2

Enjoy lots of music with your children!
