FUNharmonics: Beegu
The performers
- Lucy Hollins presenter
Beegu is not supposed to be on Earth.
She is lost. She is a friendly little creature, but the Earth People don’t seem very welcoming at all. However, so far she has only met the BIG ones. The little ones are a different matter … Presenter Lucy Hollins joins the musicians of the LPO to tell the enchanting story of Beegu, based on Alexis Deacon’s much-loved book about friendship, kindness and belonging. With some fantastic orchestral music and lots of ways to join in, this is sure to be a captivating first orchestral experience for all the family.
Age recommendation 4+
Children must be accompanied by an adult and be seated together.

What is a FUNharmonics concert?
The London Philharmonic Orchestra’s FUNharmonics family concerts are the perfect way to introduce the joy of classical music to the whole family. Concerts start at 12 noon, are one hour long, and are especially designed for children. Each concert is fast-paced and includes a presenter on stage, who breaks down the music or tells a story to keep our youngest audience members engaged and enthralled. There is also a big screen showing images projected behind the Orchestra, and plenty of audience participation to get everyone joining in!
Make a day of your visit
Your concert ticket includes the opportunity to take part in a fabulous array of free musical activities in the foyer spaces at the Royal Festival Hall before the concert begins, so the whole family can make a day of your visit. This could include drop-in interactive workshops exploring the themes of the concert, fun singing workshops, and our extremely popular ‘Have a Go’ sessions, where children can try out instruments of the orchestra. Keep an eye on event listings for updates on the details of foyer activities.
Activities take place from 10.00–11.45am and are free to concert ticket holders.
Workshops suitable for any age; Have a Go suitable for 6+
All pre-concert activities are subject to availability. We recommend arriving early to avoid the longest queues.
