The Woodwind Quintet of the New Haven Symphony Orchestra, joined by master storyteller Michael Boudewyns, presents perhaps the most engaging and beautiful performance of Peter and the Wolf that your children will ever see. March 20th at 1pm at Greenwich Library. (Note new start time: 1pm start.)
And there’s more… It’s a double feature! Come for the concert, and stay for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, which will pass right by the Library shortly after the concert ends at 2:00pm. You’ll have landed the best parking spot in town!
Sergei Prokofiev’s timeless tale of boy vs. wolf comes to life in Really Inventive Stuff’s signature performance featuring actor Michael Boudewyns. A fully-staged vaudeville-inspired solo performance hailed by the Philadelphia Inquirer as “immensely like-able” and “using simplicity as a form of genius.”
