Discovery Concert – Peter & the Wolf

Thursday, February 23, 2023
9:30 AM & 12:30 PM • Victoria Fine Arts Center
Through the Schools, Grades 1-5

Sergei Prokofiev's classic work for children--a symphonic fairy tale in which each character is represented by a different orchestral instrument-- becomes a dazzling theatrical and musical event. In collaboration with Victoria Ballet Theater, the concert follows Peter as he tries to capture a menacing wolf that threatens orchestra and audience alike. Students will be introduced to the instruments of the orchestra and the Peter and the Wolf characters' musical themes before they step into Peter's adventure.

Saturday, April 29, 2023
7:30 PM • Victoria Fine Arts Center

The music of George Gershwin is about memorable tunes, jazzy styles, and above all immediate recognition worldwide. We will be presenting two of his most famous works from Paris to bluesy rhapsodies all in one concert! To top it off, the successor to the symphony crown of Beethoven will follow in Brahms First Symphony, an orchestral tour de force that took the art of the symphony to new levels beyond Beethoven! If you came to hear Beethoven’s Fifth, you’ll love Brahm’s First!
