Not only is this a great introduction to the instruments of orchestra for younger students, older kids will enjoy learning more in a fun environment about how music is put together. The orchestra is joined by the marvelous performers of Kinetics Dance Theatre for Prokofiev’s immortal Peter and the Wolf, and kids will love a chance to try out many musical instruments at our Petting Zoo sponsored by Music & Arts held between our two concerts.
