The Creative Engagement Team at Stoller Hall<\/strong><\/a> has found a moment to pause and reflect after a busy summer term concluding a successful 2024\u201325 season. Here\u2019s everything we got up to!<\/p>\n

Fun for all the family<\/h3>\n

Our family programme<\/strong><\/a> provided more opportunities to welcome visitors into our world-class concert venue. We were off on our travels with Stoller Story Sounds<\/a><\/strong> in May, taking 74 children on a musical trip around the globe in search of Helena the Horse\u2019s perfect holiday. Our team then had an adventure of their own, taking Leo the Lion and a brand-new character to Lake District Music<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s Summer Festival.<\/em> We loved introducing Stoller Story Sounds to new audiences beyond Manchester, and we can\u2019t wait to introduce our new character to our Stoller Hall families this September! Look out on our social media for any clues as to who this mysterious new character might be\u2026<\/p>\n

We went on our final journey of the season with Mini Music Adventures<\/strong><\/a> in June, <\/em>following Assipattle on his quest to defeat the Stoor Worm, a Scottish folklore monster. Venturing across the Orkney Isles, our mini explorers listened to new music inspired by traditional Scottish melodies composed by Scottish singer and Clarsach player Anna McLuckie<\/a><\/strong>. Guided by storyteller Faz Shah, our adventurers helped Anna and students from Chetham\u2019s School of Music piece together a final song to defeat the terrifying sea monster! Join us in November for our next adventure exploring Kenya and its traditional Luo folklore, accompanied by musician Rapasa Nyatrapasa Otieno<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
