Peter and the Wolf

- Sunday, October 19, 2008 at 3pm

Ward Stare, conductor

The orchestra is made up of instrument families that all come together to make beautiful music. You’re invited to meet these families and sing along with them as they tell the story of Peter and the Wolf. The lively music of Prokofiev will inspire you to create your own stories.

Picture the Music

- Sunday, November 30, 2008 at 3pm

Courtney Lewis, conductor

The Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky visited an exhibition of paintings and was inspired to translate the paintings he had seen into sound. He wrote Pictures at an Exhibition for piano. Later, the French composer Maurice Ravel added to Mussorgsky's work to make it a composition for full orchestra. Both composers combined their senses—seeing and hearing—to create works of art. Can we see sound? Can we hear images?
