The Nature of Music

Location: State Theatre
Tickets: P $35.00; A $30.00; B $25.00; C $15.00

This charming program introduces young children to the symphony orchestra through music inspired by the natural world. In Prokofiev’s perennial favorite, Peter and The Wolf (with a special guest narrator), individual instruments get to shine as they imitate Bird, Duck, Cat, Wolf, and the other characters in the story. The concert includes a demonstration of the instruments and their families, plus shorter works by Beethoven, Debussy, Vivaldi, and Johann Strauss that evoke birds, animals, the seasons, and the weather.
