Music & Percussion Workshop

With compositions by Elton John and Tim Rice, The Lion King’s soundtrack is an icon of the musical genre, and its power lies largely in its spectacular percussion. How does the film’s soundtrack differ from the stage version? How many members make up the orchestra? What role do orchestrators play? In this workshop — a meeting with some of the musical’s musicians and percussionists — you will learn everything about this soundtrack and the extraordinary work of our orchestra.
