The London Symphony Orchestra score the Award-winning documentary 'Life on Our Planet' live at the great Barbican Hall, witnessing the birth of life on Earth over a stunning, classical score.
Witness one of the greatest nature documentaries of our time, scored by the London Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican, widely considered one of the greatest musical halls in the country.
Audiences will see life emerge and change through pivotal moments in Earth's ecological history, from single-celled organisms in the ocean to land-dwelling, multicellular organisms that roam the Earth today. Deep-diving into one of the Earth's longest lasting residents, the dinosaurs, Life On Planet Earth is an exhaustive, detailed, and beautiful journey of the history of our unique, blue planet.
Spectating the marvels and mutability of natural life on the big screen would be enough to buy a ticket, but the Barbican level it up to stratospheric heights by inviting the London Symphony Orchestra to score it. With Morgan Freeman narrating over the top, the Orchestra offer a deeply immersive and moving aural experience to accompany the miracles shown on screen.
While absolutely suitable for kids, you'd have to have a heart made of concrete to not marvel at the miracles of nature as an adult. Not so much ‘for kids’ as it is ‘fun for all the family’, the stellar combination of stunning natural visuals with virtuosic classical orchestration render the event simply unmissable for fans of either ecology or orchestra. Reignite your love of both, or introduce your kids to the sublime beauty of both nature and music.
