Children’s imaginations will run wild as the story of Peter and the Wolf comes to life in Prokofiev’s beloved work through music and dance. Students follow the tale of Peter and his animal friends on a musical adventure, getting to know the instruments of the orchestra at the same time. Each character in this musical fairy tale is represented by a different instrument of the orchestra. Experience the beautiful tapestry of orchestral color that reflects our own unique voices and personalities.

The visual/dance component is provided by LanDance Ballet Studio (from The Edge), with choreography and costuming by Stephanie Parker and Mark Lanham.

Attendees:

• Experience a live orchestra performance with ballet choreography and staging.
• Practice active listening skills, aurally identifying the instruments of the orchestra by timbre.
• Connect musical themes with the characters to experience how music tells the story and reflects the corresponding moods and actions, complete with live dancers to represent each individual.
