OAE TOTS: Mozart Chased a Cat

When a young Mozart visited London, he met a cat. This interactive concert is our imaginings of what adventures they might have had as we journey through Mozart’s Symphony No. 40.
Children between the ages of two and five sit up close to orchestral musicians and take part with their grown-ups – it’s even better than pizza!
Upbeat OAE Tots concerts give families the chance to share the stage with a cast of occasionally weird – and always wonderful – instruments.
