About this event
Benjamin Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra is the ultimate introduction to the instruments of an orchestra. Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser leads the CSO in this iconic and delightful piece, joined by special guest artists from The Second City adding their signature wit and spontaneity to this imaginative musical adventure. Using a single melody to introduce each instrument family, Britten’s score spotlights the unique character of every instrument. Once the theme travels through the ensemble, one section at a time, the orchestra reunites for a glorious, rip-roaring conclusion. Perfect for ages 5-12
