Based on the Russian folk tale “Peter and the Wolf” tells the story of Peter, a boy in the countryside, who encounters a duck, a cat, his grandfather, a wolf, a bird, and hunter, each represented by an instrument of the orchestra. A narrator guides the story. This engaging composition introduces children to classical music by learning to recognize the sound of each instrument. This presentation is made even more charming and exciting as a multi arts presentation which includes a crankie, (an illustrated scroll, lit from behind), and shadow puppets.
