Concerteenies: Janet Fulton percussion (0-3s)

*THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED*

Join percussionist Janet Fulton for a really exciting percussion extravaganza with magical marimba music, cajon drumming and a new 'Musical Building Blocks' piece using claves, woodblocks, lego and duplo blocks!! Expect the usual Concerteenies bubbles, props, percussion and informal introductions to bring the music to life for the little ones!

Janet is Principal Percussionist of the Manchester Camerata but she has recently been touring with Hacienda Classical including opening Glastonbury on the Pyramid stage in 2017 to 65.000 people, performing at the Isle of Wight Festival and a couple of nights at Dubai Opera House. She reckons she has played live to over 150,000 people this year, many of whom would not have heard an orchestra live before.

She is hugely passionate about working with people with dementia and with special educational needs and regularly in works in schools and universities, including Leeds College of Music and Huddersfield University. She passionately believes that music is as important a language to humankind as any other, and is as necessary to be taught in school as English and Maths (and had a letter published in The Times making that exact point). When not touring around the country she lives in North Yorkshire, and is on call 24/7 when at home as a Community First Responder for the Ambulance Service.
