Bach to Baby at Layer Marney Tower

Details Tickets

Celebrate the colours of autumn with a concert full of warmth, charm, and musical magic. Violinist Katy Johns and cellist Daisy Vatalaro bring the shimmering clarity of Bach’s Inventions and the fiery brilliance of Handel-Halvorsen’s Passacaglia to life in a performance that’s perfect for all ages. With sparkling string duets and a sprinkling of your favourite nursery rhyme singalongs, this’ll be a treat for the whole family.

Bach to Baby is the critically-acclaimed concert series for babies, toddlers, and you, founded by professional musician Miaomiao Yu after becoming frustrated at not being able to take her children to the sort of quality classical music concerts that she regularly enjoyed as a professional musician.

Miaomiao, an award-winning pianist, wanted to perform for her son in a concert setting, but found it unrealistic for many reasons, including the late nights. "And then I thought, this is silly. Why not play for him and his friends and other babies and toddlers, at a kid-friendly time? The idea grew from there," says Miaomiao, who is also a professor of piano at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
