Adapted from the award-winning natural history series, Parenthood in Concert combines film excerpts with a live orchestral performance of Tom Howe’s original score. Narrated by Nick Mohammed, the production captures the drama, tenderness, and surprising strategies of animal parenting across the globe, from orcas teaching calves to hunt, to orangutans building nests, to hippos guiding their families.

Esk developed and delivered the production framework, synchronising film and live music to create an immersive, story-driven experience. Designed to highlight the power of cinematic storytelling in a live setting, this event provides venues and promoters with a distinctive, high-value offering that combines education, spectacle, and emotional impact.
