My AccountBig Bang Festival
Friendly – Fun – Inspired
For ages 5 to 12
The name says it all: the BIG BANG Festival will blow your socks off! The adventure features a performance by the NAC Orchestra, three virtuoso jazz musicians in an interactive and youthful take on Miles Davis, a dynamic marching band, a journey through all kinds of weird sound machines, and many other surprises. All of this energy at the NAC will put some much-needed colour into the winter doldrums.
