Alasdair always loves travelling to join his friends in the Hong Kong Sinfonietta but this time things do not go quite to plan and he ends up having the most Incredible Journey! Instead of flying direct, he ends up having a riotous ride on boats, broomsticks, cars, carpets, roads, rails, spaceships, shoes, hooves and a yellow submarine!

Fortunately he has help from great composers including Mozart, Grieg, Saint-Saëns and Johann Strauss, and the music from films such as Aladdin, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Moana and Star Wars – but will he get here on time?

Don’t miss this exciting adventure in music and motion!
