Peter and the Wolf

For nine decades, kids have discovered the symphony orchestra through Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, the tale of a young boy who captures a menacing wolf with the help of his animal friends. Music and narration combine to vividly illustrate the adventure—from the chirping bird (played by the flute), to the grumbling grandfather (bassoon), to Peter’s own heroic melody singing out in the strings. It’s the perfect way to nurture a love of orchestral music in young listeners! Family Series concerts are roughly 60 minutes—perfect for wiggly bodies under 10—and include hands-on pre-concert activities in the lobby. GENERAL AGE GUIDELINE: This family-friendly performance is open to audience members of all ages. Children occupying their own seat must have a ticket for admission; however, babes in arms (children sitting in a lap for the duration of the performance) may be admitted for free, and will not require a ticket.This calendar listing is brought to you by NowPlayingUtah.com, Utah's one-stop, online website for arts and entertainment events, powered by the Utah Cultural Alliance.
