Harriet and Benny currently LOVE 80’s rock, so you’ll see a bit of KISS with the MSO in the playlist. Over dinner we have Mum and Dad’s choice: Arcade Fire, Asgeir, Radiohead… a bit of anything really! We usually have an impromptu dance party after dinner too (it’s a great way to convince the kids to put their toys away and clear the floor to make room!). Sometimes we put on the storm movements and get the kids running around outside pretending to be a thunderstorm to burn off some energy! Mars especially because it’s loud and exciting! Strauss also writes such amazing music, and An Alpine Symphony is a great reminder of why we love what we do. Harriet has been learning about space and the solar system, so Holst’s The Planets with the MSO has become very popular lately.

Usually we play upcoming repertoire, but since we’re not performing at the moment, we tend to pick out favourite symphonies or music that tells a story. Rich (my partner and trombonist in the Orchestra) and I listen to a lot of orchestral music at home. I also had to put some Frozen 2 in there because, well… pre-schoolers! I’m also a closet Disney musical fan so secretly I love it as much as the kids do. We start the day with some sing-a-longs to put everyone in a good mood. We use music as a bit of an escape, and a good alternative to television and screen time. Jupiter Hell is built by ChaosForge, the team that’s been making top-down, cosmic hell roguelikes since 2002.Music has definitely been something that has helped keep our family sane during lockdown! We have a two and a four-year-old, Harriet and Benjamin, and I’m sure all the parents out there can attest to how difficult it is being cooped up at home without being able to explore the local playground.
