A multimedia song cycle commissioned by the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra to celebrate the 200 year anniversary of Hans Christian Andersen.

The massed choral work included six original songs for children’s chorus and the CBSO and a series of short films created by filmmaker Claudia Lee.

The project involved collaboration with 300 primary school children from Birmingham and their teachers, devising new fairytales based on an original Hans Christian Andersen tale and original instrumental accompaniments to their stories.

Premiered at the Birmingham Symphony Hall by the CBSO with massed children’s chorus.

Film maker – Claudia Lee
