Based on the book We’re Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen, with illustrations by Helen Oxenbury.
We’re Going on a Bear Hunt is a Lupus Films production in association with Bear Hunt Films and Walker Productions for Channel 4, Universal Pictures and Herrick Entertainment with the support of Creative Europe – MEDIA programme of the European Union. We’re Going on a Bear Hunt The Film: Live in Concert is produced in association with City of London Sinfonia.
We’re Going on a Bear Hunt The Film Live in Concert is produced in association with City of London Sinfonia. City of London Sinfonia are available for performances.
City of London Sinfonia give over 75 performances every year anywhere from an East London club to international concert halls, cathedrals and opera houses, or communities who because of location or opportunity would not otherwise experience outstanding professional music-making. The orchestra spends over 150 days every year in schools where social background often creates a barrier to creativity and ambition, hospitals for young people with severe and challenging conditions, and with older people dealing with loss of loved ones and memory.
The orchestra places equal value and brings the same approach to all of their activities: the highest quality; a distinctive, ‘seriously informal’ style of performance that removes the barriers between musicians and audiences so that people can experience the transformative power of music; and a warmth of music-making that is created through our musicians sharing a wider range of experiences together beyond the concert platform.
City of London Sinfonia frequently collaborates with musicians in jazz, folk and contemporary music, artists in film, dance or visual art or with explorations of science, history or philosophy. Together with Creative Director and first violinist Alexandra Wood and Principal Conductor Michael Collins, the musicians of City of London Sinfonia conceive and deliver imaginative performances and projects with the orchestra’s Associate Artists, who work with City of London Sinfonia to achieve ambitions they could not realise elsewhere.
