Giraffes can’t dance…yet. Learn and grow with Gerald the Giraffe as he overcomes challenges, discovers his talents, and finds music that inspires him to dance. Beloved music from Camille Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals brings to life the story of Giraffes Can’t Dance, written by Giles Andreae and illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees, as children make music along with the SLSO.
Created in partnership with Ready Readers and COCA.
Ticket application will open on Tue, Sep 2.
