Story of a Day | Scéal Lae

I’m awake I think… But what was it that woke me?

That tap tap on the window, that sliver of sun on the wall, my cold foot?

Or did my dream wake me? 

So begins a music filled story of one child’s day that turns the ordinary into the extraordinary with live music, vibrant storytelling and vivid animation. 

A live performance commissioned by Branar and performed by ConTempo Quartet in a collaboration between Branar and Galway Music Residency. Words and illustrations by renowned children’s author Mary Murphy and original score by award winning composer Tom Lane. 

Created for children aged 4 years upwards and families.

Duration: Approx. 40 mins
