Augustus the tiger was sad.  He had lost his smile.

Told through magical, theatrical chamber music and performed by exceptional musicians, the award winning Smile takes the audience on a delightful musical adventure.  For nursery/foundation/KS1 groups, or children aged 3 - 7 years and their families.

Based on the book Augustus and His Smile, written and illustrated by Catherine Rayner and published by Little Tiger Press, www.littletiger.co.uk

In partnership with Inspire: Culture, Learning and Libraries Smile was developed in 2017 with support from Nottingham Library Service, Nottingham Music Service, Nottinghamshire Music Hub and Nottingham Lakeside Arts and funding from Arts Council England Grants for the Arts Libraries Fund.
