Due to health concerns - discussions are in process to possibly postpone Family Concert: Carnival of the Animals. Thank you for your patience during this uncertain period. We should have an update shortly.
A wonderful outing for newcomers as well as longtime lovers of the symphony, this concert brings the joy of orchestral music to the whole family. We feature Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals, introduced by the famous and humorous poems of Ogden Nash, as well as selections from other classical favorites featuring all the different instruments of the orchestra.
