Event Description:

Prokofiev's classic "Peter and the Wolf" brings to life the tale of a young boy on an adventurous exploration, narrated to enhance the experience. As he meets several new animal friends, the arrival of a ferocious wolf turns the adventure into a thrilling quest. Villagers band together to hunt the wolf and protect the town, leading to an unexpected twist. Additionally, the GSO will perform Holst's lively "St. Paul's Suite," a delightful piece originally composed for the students at the school where Holst taught.

Enjoy this 45 minute family-friendly performance where kids can be kids! Experience orchestral music without any of the constraints of a standard performance, within a shorter program. Kids of all ages will delight in the discovery of an orchestral experience that invites and welcomes all to the world of classical music.

Up to 30 minutes before or after each concert, you can get up close and hands on with a myriad of instruments in the lobby. Many instruments like small percussion are simple enough to tap or pick up & shake. More complex instruments will have attendants to help strum, pluck, or bow.
