Last month we joined our regular CLoSer partners the City of London Sinfonia on a day trip to Idea Store Whitechapel, where we held a Sea and Sky Family Day of interactive music and arts activity for young families. Presented by Claire Bloor it featured music from the orchestra, including the famous Flight of the Bumblebee, as well as craft activities led by our very own Music Rumpus designer Bernadette Roberts. We’ve put together some of our choice moments below – enjoy!
