The young performers have also helped to write the new work that fills the second half of the concerts – Monkey Boy, a musical version of an old Nepali fairy story.

Composer Shri Sriram and local Rotarian Guy Wilson worked with the children who between them have written six songs to help tell the dark but ultimately heart-warming story of how a monkey born to human parents is eventually accepted as the bravest and best of his family.
