When King Colin sets his sights on finding the famous Golden Sausage, there’s only ONE person for the job: Sir Scallywag! But will the six-year-old knight be mighty enough to defeat the filthy trolls and win the Stinkiest Battle Ever?'

8. Introduction to instruments through sectionals with the London Symphony: from flutes to tuba
Sir Simon Rattle and the London Symphony Orchestra have been adjusting to life at home, but they have missed playing together. Simon was supposed to have been attending the wedding of his old friend Figaro but sadly couldn't travel there. The LSO players suggested doing a special online concert for him and Simon agreed to conduct!
The time arrives for online sectional rehearsals and all the players gather online but... Where's Simon?
The players can't rehearse without Simon so, instead of sitting around waiting, they introduce their instruments: we'll find out how they work, why each LSO player thinks their instrument is the best, and how they sound individually as well as within the various instrument families.
Once you've enjoyed the 'Where's Simon?' concert above, test out what you have learned by trying out our quiz and explore some listening recommendations directly from the LSO players at https://lso.co.uk/wheres-simon
