Performed through narration, music and beautiful illustrations, Merregnon: Land of Silence is a symphonic fairy tale designed to introduce children to the wonder of the orchestral sound and built in the tradition of timeless classics like Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf and Saint-Saens’ Carnival of the Animals.

The story has been written by celebrated German children’s author Frauke Angel, and the exclusive music is composed by internationally renowned composer Yoko Shimomura, known for her work on multi-million selling video games such as Super Mario RPG, Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy XV.

The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s premiere performance of Merregnon: Land of Silence is available to watch for free for one year on demand digitally at Konserthuset Play.
