Wait… What?! with Sinfonia Viva

Wait… What?! is a family show from Sinfonia Viva, exploring some of the biggest mysteries asked by curious children everywhere. One day Sandy realises that there are lots of things in the world that don’t make any sense – like how does the water get into our taps? And, where do clouds come from? Join in and help Sandy get to the bottom of it all.

You won’t be able to keep your attention away from this musical and visual feast. The music has been composed especially for young children by Jack Ross. He performs live, leading a quartet of Sinfonia Viva musicians, while dancer David Ogle and live illustrator Eleanor Meredith create the sights and shapes of Sandy’s world.

Wait… What? is more than just a performance. After the show you can meet the musicians, take part in family-friendly musical activities, and explore the Museum of Making’s multitude of interactive exhibits.

Every family in the audience will receive a Wait… What?! book and a code to download the music so you can relieve the performance again and again.

Why not combine this performance with a day out at the Museum of Making, and perhaps some lunch or a delicious cake at the Museum’s River Kitchen?
