Stories in Music: Peter and the Wolf

Join us for a magical morning of music and storytelling at the LaGrange Public Library! The Fort Wayne Philharmonic Lakeside Wind Quintet will bring Peter and the Wolf to life through an engaging live performance that combines narration and music. There’s no better way to introduce children to classical music than with Prokofiev’s musical fairy tale of the little boy (played by all the strings of the orchestra) who, with the help of a bird (played by the flute), outsmarted the big, bad wolf (played by the French horns). A new retelling by Janet Schulman follows the basic story, but with a kinder ending for both the big bad wolf and the argumentative duck. This family-friendly event is a wonderful way to introduce children to classical music and the instruments of the orchestra in a fun and accessible way! Free to attend—registration required!
