Trio Taliesin presents
Tales from the Nutcracker

A fun, interactive and festive performance for children, incorporating music from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker, stories, song and musical games.

After a sell-out performance last year, Trio Taliesin are back with their festive children’s concert!

Join Trio Taliesin to hear four pieces from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker, arranged for piano trio. The music will intermingle with storytelling as they present a fictional tale filled with magic and adventure and featuring characters from the original Nutcracker story. There will be interactive elements throughout the performances for children to get involved in including movement, singing and body percussion activities.

This concert is recommended for children aged 3-7 years old, but all ages are welcome.

Please note that the performance includes some gentle flashing lights.

Trio Taliesin take their name from Celtic mythology: Taliesin was a renowned bard who entertained at the courts of the Brythonic kings. The trio formed in 2017 with the aim of engaging audiences in piano trio repertoire through collaborative performances and programming that links works with an underlying narrative. They have given concerts in London, Oxford, Sedbergh and Llanidloes, collaborated on performances with actress Holly Walters, and performed Beethoven’s Triple Concerto with the Cobweb Orchestra.
