A magical world of music, discovery and play for school groups.

It’s well past bedtime but nobody can sleep. The rain is too splashy, the sheep are too jumpy and the stars are far, far too twinkly. Join Aurora to find out just what can be done about it…

Experience one of our immersive, storytelling performances, featuring a chamber arrangement of Bach’s Goldberg Variations and an original story from Aurora Writer in Residence, Kate Wakeling. Audiences are invited to listen, sing, dance, and enter a magical world of music, discovery, and play.
