Nelson Symphony Orchestra visit




On Saturday 31st March the Nelson Symphony Orchestra are performing a concert for children called 'Peer Gynt'. Some of the orchestra members came to Nelson Central School to talk to us about their music. David plays the violin, Francis plays the oboe and Veronica plays the clarinet.
They all showed us how their instruments work. The oboe and clarinet are woodwind instruments and need a reed to make a sound. We all got to listen to some music and pretend that we were trolls, creeping around and jumping out from behind rocks. David dressed up as the Troll King from the story and they played us some of the music from the concert.

I like the monster King because I think it is spooky. From Jamie in London
