The story included many young performers from Cricket Green School in Merton (next to the picturesque 18th-century Mitcham Sunday and National School, as pictured above) and Greenmead Primary Special School in Wandsworth. It felt as though the music had a particularly powerful influence on the young student listeners; their response changed in sympathy with the changing moods of the music as the story progressed.

New music had been composed for today's performances and we were treated to a new opening, entitled 'Forest Music' by the students of Cricket Green, and a new Lullaby composed by the students of Greenmead Primary Special School. 

I cycled between the schools, along a serene National Cycle Path, following the route of the River Wandle en route to Greenmead Primary Special School in Wandsworth.
