In association with Perth Festival, we're proud to be performing and presenting these exciting FREE events!
Join us at the free family fun day at the University of WA for The Sound of Picture Books - featuring Dumazi and the Big Yellow Lion and experience a picture book come to life before your eyes - and ears!
Illustrator and composer, Matt Ottley, and author and musician, Valanga Khoza, join West Australian Symphony Orchestra's string quintet and Yamaha's Alf Demasi for an event that is always a Festival highlight. This unique and engaging performance brings narration, live music, imagery, dance and demonstrations of music composition together to create a little magic. Matt and Valanga co-present the captivating story of Dumazi and the Big Yellow Lion while the musicians perform music synched to the illustrations from the book on a large screen. Audiences last year loved the energy and creative insight during these fabulous multi-modal presentations.
