4BR has talked exclusively to Allan Withington about his latest banding project — a family concert series telling the true story of Maria von Trapp.

Inspiration

Allan talks about the inspiration, his meeting with a Norwegian Royal, the music, and what he hopes to bring to the stage at The Sage and Bridgewater Hall for all the family to enjoy!

All that is missing is Julie Andrews herself...
