Laboratory Of Lullabies With Noodle Music

Laboratory Of Lullabies comes to the Komedia Basement on Sunday 20 September, presented by the Brighton Early Music Festival. It's an immersive show that draws on the tradition of the lullaby, pulling together night-time music from baroque and folk traditions. The performance is brought to life by an ensemble of local and international musicians playing period instruments, so you'll hear the music on the kinds of instruments it was originally written for.

The whole thing is built around the idea of families connecting through something as old as the lullaby itself. The room is laid out for everyone to enjoy together: parents with young children, grandparents sharing memories, or adults bringing an elderly relative. Seating is unreserved, with children on the carpet and adults in the rows behind. It's suitable for all ages, though it's best suited to pre-school and primary school aged children and their families.

It's a Sunday afternoon slot, so it works as a family outing rather than a late one. The show starts at 13:30, with doors opening at 14:00. Tickets are £8 for adults, and children under 12 go free, though you still need a free ticket for them. The venue is the Komedia Basement, part of the Komedia on Gardner Street in Brighton.
