North Yorkshire Libraries will be celebrating the annual summer
reading challenge in unique style this July with NYMAZ Musical
Storytimes. Five sets of professional musicians from Live Music Now
have each chosen a book which is inspired by this year's theme of
Quest Seekers, and between them will be running workshops in every
part of the region in just one week.
From Richmond to Northallerton and Bedale, to Stokesley, Young
people aged 7 - 11 are invited to come along to experience books
being brought to life through a fantastic workshop combining high
quality music and storytelling. The musicians delivering these
workshops are Bella Tromba, Sax Ecosse, Meridian, Michael Haywood
& Laura Grime and Emma Wilkins & Helen Macleod, who between
them play instruments ranging from the harp to trumpets and
percussion. There is also an instrument making workshop at the
beginning of each session where the young people can make their own
instruments to include in the workshop.
The NYMAZ Musical Storytimes week happens from 27th -
31st July in 43 towns and villages through North
Yorkshire, due to the popularity of these sessions booking is
essential and can be done through your local library. Go to
www.nymaz.org.uk for
a full list of what events are happening where and more information
on your local NYMAZ Musical Storytimes session or ask at your local
library.
