Following a brief musical preface to familiarize young people with the orchestra, Dr. Thomas Elliot and the orchestra will highlight the instruments that play parts in Peter and the Wolf . Prokofiev's music is quite adult, but the story appeals to children.
Children get very mesmerized by the instruments.
SSU Theatre Director Dr. T. Paul Pfeiffer will be the guest narrator, dramatizing the story of danger and excitement that Prokofiev wrote to accompany his score. The performance will last about 45 minutes. SSO Gold Pass patrons receive free admission to this concert, as they do with the other three concerts in the 2000-2001 season.
