Name: The Carnival of the Animals
Start: 2025-05-28T19:00:00+01:00
Location: York Minster

Hear the animal kingdom brought to life inside York Minster as young listeners are guided through Camille Saint-Saëns’ 'The Carnival of the Animals' performed on the cathedral’s Grand Organ. The perfect introduction to classical music!
The familiar and accessible composition will be accompanied by a narrator sharing fun facts about the wild animals that roam through Saint-Saëns’ creation and York Minster’s history, and will include the chance to get up-close to the organ to see how the instrument is played.
The short, family-sized exploration of the organ, given by Benjamin Morris, will take place on Wednesday 28 May at 7pm.
