Bach to Baby

www.bachtobaby.com

The critically acclaimed classical concert series for baby and you. Outstanding musicians, exhilarating performances, inspiring locations across London and the South East. Set up by pianist 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," said Miaomiao, who is also a professor of piano at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Miaomiao set about to design a rigorous musical programme for babies that wouldn't have been out of place at the Proms. Programming range from Bach to Barber, from Chopin to Shostakovich. "I didn't want to dumb it down for children. Studies show the positive effects of classical music and children are like little sponges at this stage. Why shouldn’t they be allowed to experience the same high calibre performances as that enjoyed by adults in the best concert halls of the world?” asks Miaomiao. Instead of playing at modest community halls, venues with a specific sense of atmosphere were chosen. "I want babies to enjoy sophisticated music and that’s aided by fantastic atmosphere and acoustics, as well as fabulous guest artists, " said Miaomiao, adding that exhausted parents deserve an inspiring setting as much as anyone. Being a mum first and foremost, Miaomiao welcomes all the frenzy that comes along with being a parent of a young child. "It's about Mozart and Bach, feeding and crying, and dancing to music - all of it," said Miaomiao. "We haven't made it through a concert without at least one nappy change. That's the way it should be," she said.
