About the Concert

"Peter and the Wolf," that's the one with the grandfather and the bassoon! For many, Prokofiev's fairy tale is the ultimate musical childhood memory. Whether the bassoon as the grandfather or the oboe as the voice of the duck is more memorable - for children, a performance of this classic is usually unforgettable, and in addition, they also get to learn about the instruments of a large symphony orchestra.
