Discovery Concert: Carnival of the Animals

  • Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 2:30 PM
    Merrill Auditorium

When does a piano hop like a kangaroo, a violin bray like a donkey, and a cello swim like a swan? In Carnival of the Animals, of course! This grand “zoological” piece by Saint Saens creates a musical kaleidoscope for the orchestra with alluring sounds from the wild. Experience the full orchestra as a parade of music marches on with you from the zoo! Come to Merrill Auditorium early to play games, try the hands-on instrument petting zoo and for lots more family-friendly musical fun!

Before the Show

  • Come early (1:00 or 1:30pm) for games, crafts, a hands-on instrument petting zoo and lots more family-friendly musical fun.
