In 1936, Sergei Prokofiev wrote a magical symphonic fairy tale for children complete with a narrator and a colorful orchestra to illustrate the characters throughout the story. Join Dr. Jennifer Kirby as she walks the audience through the tale of Peter and the Wolf and introduces the instrumental themes that demonstrate each character including Peter, the Wolf, a spritely bird, a mischievous cat, a friendly duck, Peter’s stern grandfather, and the hunters that save them all.
