Tales in Tune : Stories Come Alive with Music
August 22 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join us for a special Book Week 2026 performance where literature and live music come together in a unique and engaging experience. Students will bring a beloved story to life through a live dramatic reading, enhanced by original music, creative sound effects, and atmospheric audio performances.
As the story unfolds, student musicians and performers will create the soundtrack in real time, adding excitement, emotion, and imagination to every page. From mysterious sounds and dramatic moments to joyful melodies and vivid soundscapes, this collaborative event celebrates the power of storytelling through both words and music.
Musical Artist Adam Manning is joining us to perform the Acknowledgement of Country. Author Deborah Kelly will also join us to read her book ‘Little Horses’.
Come and experience a book like never before, where reading becomes a live performance and every sound helps tell the story.
Time: 11:00 am | Saturday, 22 August
