AUTHOR and illustrator James Mayhew will join the de Havilland Philharmonic again in November for the orchestra’s annual family orchestral concert.

The Nutcracker and the Mouse King

The thrilling and magical story of the enchanted Nutcracker, his fearsome battle with the wicked Mouse King, and the journey to the sparkling Land of Sweets will be retold and illustrated live on stage for all to see, as the orchestra plays Tchaikovsky’s dazzling music at The Weston Auditorium, in Hatfield.

This is the perfect way to begin the countdown to the festive season, and will be an unforgettable introduction for children to live classical music.

There will also be an opportunity to win the art created during the concert, and James will be signing books after both performances.

The concerts will take place on Sunday, November 4 at 2.00pm and 4.30pm.

Tickets are priced at £12 for adults and £6 for children, and are on sale now from the UHArts box office.
