What if you could hear a picture? What if music could paint a story?
This October, internationally acclaimed artist, author, and composer Matt Ottley returns with The Sound of Picture Books™—a breathtaking performance where music, art, and storytelling come alive together on stage.
With narration, projected illustrations, and a live musical score performed by members of the Perth Symphony Orchestra, beloved picture books are transformed into a multi-sensory journey for audiences of all ages. It’s part concert, part theatre, part storytime — and unlike anything you’ve experienced before.
