Introduce Nursery to P2 children (age 3-6) to the magic of classical music with Yoyo & The Little Auk – a new and inspiring Scottish adventure from the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and Visible Fictions, supported by Year of Stories 2022.
When a terrible storm hits a flock of birds flying thousands of miles across the ocean, one little auk lands with a plop on a clump of purple heather in Inverkithkin – a charming town smack bang in the middle of Scotland. The lost bird is found by Yoyo, a little girl who is getting ready for her favourite night of the year – the night of the Inverkithkin Ceilidh…
Yoyo & The Little Auk, narrated by actor James Cosmo (The Chronicles of Narnia, Game of Thrones, Braveheart), is brought to life with a world-class creative team including Scottish BAFTA-winning animator Gavin C Robinson, author Stewart Ennis, composer Euan Stevenson, director Dougie Irvine and producer Laura Penny.
