We鈥檙e going on a bear hunt! There鈥檚 fun for all the family as Michael Rosen takes his much-loved book as the starting point for a whole new set of adventures.

Along the way, illustrator Tony Ross conjures up pictures live on big screens and the RLPO and children from In Harmony plunder the music of composers including Mussorgsky, Grieg and Stravinsky to find the most exciting, most dreamy and most scary tunes, all bound together with original music by Ian Stephens.

And there will be lots of opportunities for the audience to join in.
