Musical Storyland LIVE! (Rochdale)

Join international storyteller Jan Blake, djembe player Yahael Onono and musicians from the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra for an interactive performance of Ananse and the Monkeys. Ananse needs some money to buy food so makes some hats to sell but on his way to the market some monkeys steal them! Can Ananse outwit the monkeys to get his precious hats back?

Jan Blake specialises in folktales and myths from the Caribbean, West Africa, North Africa, and the Arab regions. The BBC Philharmonic Orchestra rehearses at its home in MediaCity, Salford and performs in venues across the North of England, annually at the BBC Proms and internationally.

Then join us for Ananse and the Monkeys craft in the library.

Ages 3 to 7
