About this event
The RSNO’s National Schools Concert Programme is back in 2021 – and this time we’re going digital!
Join us for a special concert - beamed straight into your classroom - featuring the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, narrator Zeb Soanes, presenter Lucy Drever, and a rather special fox... Gaspard the Fox and a host of engaging characters are out in force again and this time they have been set to music!
Alongside the digital concert, you will have access to accompanying resources, an online workshop with Lucy Drever, and teacher CPD.

About the Concert
Gaspard accidentally boards a bus and has a thrilling fox-eye view of the sights, sounds, and smells of London, but how will he ever find his way back home? At Hyde Park he discovers a concert celebrating London’s wildlife and gets a surprise when a familiar-looking conductor walks out on stage…
Brought to life by Jonathan Dove’s wonderful composition, Gaspard’s latest adventure is the perfect introduction to classical music for primary school pupils in P3 – P5.
The film will be around 35 minutes in length.
