Baby Pops - Once Upon a Time

A special concert for ages 2 – 6 years

Kevin Keys – presenter
Marc Taddei - conductor
Featuring: Murray the Musical Bear & The Sugar Plum Fairy

The young audience for Vector Wellington's "Baby Pops: Once Upon A Time" will love the magic of storytelling as they take part in an adventure of symphonic proportions.

This year’s Baby Pops features an original piece for orchestra and narrator based on the beloved New Zealand legend, Maui’s Fishhook. Created by orchestral education pioneer Thomas Goss, the story will take the whole audience on a musical voyage with plenty of scope for audience participation. Everyone can help to paddle Maui’s canoe out to sea, or join maestro Marc Taddei in conducting the orchestra!

Presenter Kevin Keys tells the story of Maui’s Fishhook with drama, humour and a touch of magic. He’ll also lead listeners on an “orchestra hunt”. They’ll discover the twittering winds, blaring brass, swooping strings, and booming percussion, then sing along with well-known tunes like The Bear Went Over The Mountain and Tutira Mai. Special guests Murray the Musical Bear and the Sugar Plum Fairy join Kevin and the orchestra in bringing classics like Grieg’s Hall of the Mountain King and Beethoven’s Eroica to life.
