#is something wonderful about to happen?
Join the Toowoomba Concert Orchestra and help Earth find some friends with the accompaniment of wonderful music. This concert will introduce young audiences to a live orchestra through captivating storytelling aimed at under 5’s.
Being alone can be tough, especially in the darkness of space. As Earth searches the solar system for a friend, she’s met with rejection from the other planets – Mercury only likes friends who are dry, Mars only makes friends with those who are red, and Jupiter only has time for big friends.
When something fiery, red and menacing comes hurtling towards her, she fears the worst … but could it be a sign that something wonderful is about to happen?
Alone is an endearing story about how sometimes our worst moments can lead to the best things in life.
First 5 Forever is an initiative of the Queensland Government, coordinated by State Library of Queensland and delivered in partnership with local government.
