 Spark a life-long love of music!

Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf continues to enchant audiences, no matter what their age. Join us as we bring to life the story of a young boy’s woodland adventures through the many instruments in the orchestra. Every instrument is given a character to play, for example, Peter is played by the strings, his grandfather by the bassoon and the wolf by the horns. First-time listeners create bonds with the instruments and their players that last a lifetime.

In a similar way, the work of Algonquin-Anishinaabe storyteller and composer Spy Dénommé-Welch uses musical imagery to evoke the natural world.
