Concerteenies

Concerteenies Live music events for 0-7s and their grown-ups: fun, informal, colourful, quality and engaging.

Concerteenies is an award-winning producer of musical events and activities for young children and their adults in Sheffield and beyond. We present concerts, creative music projects, and online events in early years settings (nurseries, schools, childminders), within the community (through venues and care homes), and at home, in addition to providing training and resources. Young children are at the heart of our work, with everything we do about bringing generations together to share, enjoy, and have fun through music. Concerts are performed by professional musicians who enjoy sharing their music with people of all ages. Enjoy an eclectic mix of classical, contemporary, pop, folk and jazz with informal introductions to the music and sensory activities to enhance your child's experience (bubbles, puppets, percussion and lots more). All concerts incorporate soft mats, blankets and toys for the children. Mums are welcome to breastfeed during the concert and nappy changing facilities are provided. All children must be accompanied by adults at all times and all adults must be accompanied by at least one child per group! Concerteenies is programmed and organised (and sometimes led and performed) by Polly Ives who has a wealth of experience as a musician and educationalist. She has worked with CBeebies, Music in the Round, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Opera House, National Children's Orchestra of Great Britain, Beatrix Potter Attraction and many more!
