Quentin Blake's Box of Treasures
BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Ben Palmer - Barbican Hall
Program Info: Stefano Cabrera - Quentin Blake's Box of Treasures
Quentin Blake’s Box of Treasures bursts open, as the BBC Symphony Orchestra plays a live accompaniment to two wonderful animated adventures.
Young Jack and his sister Nancy dream of adventure – but they didn’t expect desert islands, talking parrots and exploding volcanoes. Mrs Armitage is taking a quiet bike ride with her dog Breakspear – but when you’re a brilliant inventor, things rarely stay quiet for long. Everyone knows that Quentin Blake spins a fabulous tale, but with Stefano Cabrera’s delightful music they’ve never looked (or sounded) quite as fabulous as this.
Today, you can enjoy their animated exploits alongside live music from the full BBC Symphony Orchestra. Imagine the whole glorious, multicoloured world of Quentin Blake springing to life while 80 amazing musicians follow Jack, Nancy and Mrs Armitage every step of the way. These two films are part of CBBC’s Quentin Blake’s Box of Treasures – and now you get to dive right in!
