Hertford Symphony Orchestra's new conductor Jonathan Mann

A SPECIAL concert for all the family with a Wild West theme will be held in Hertford this weekend.

Hertford Symphony Orchestra’s annual Robert Kiln concert for children takes place on Sunday, January 29, at Hertford Theatre.

Sponsored by the Robert Kiln Trust, the programme is designed to present music to primary age children in a fun and stimulating way, dispelling the rumour that classical music is boring.

The two short performances present youngsters with a thrilling opportunity to listen to a live symphony orchestra and they are invited to attend in fancy dress.

There will also be opportunities to participate in the concert, as the Hertford Symphony Orchestra takes a trip to the Wild West.

Performances are at 2.30pm and 4.15pm.

Tickets cost £7 for adults and £4 for children and are available from the box office on 01992 531500.
