Symphony of the Trees is designed to raise awareness of, and celebrate, children within the autistic spectrum. | |
Children and staff from three Berkshire schools - Brookfields School, Castle School, and Prior's Court School were involved. |

The child standing in front of the tree holds a bell and a singing bowl. The bell is an open 'giving' shape and the singing bowl is a 'receiving' shape. This is to signify the interplay of giving and receiving in all forms of communication. | |

The sculpture was sited in Victoria Park, Newbury in 2007. Sadly, the bronze figure was subsequently stolen. Discussions are underway to recast and re-site the sculpture in a new location.
