We are delighted to announce this wonderful line-up of Zeb Soanes, newsreader presenter and actor, and James Mayhew, author and artist. Together with the Campanella Ensemble and their conductor Sam Scheer, they will bring a magical Peter and the Wolf to this year's Proms Family Festival. Suitable for children over five and their grown ups, we wil hear the music, the story and some fantstic illustration happening live on screen as the story is told.
James will also talk about and sign books after the concert.
Sergei Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf is a renowned musical introduction to the orchestra for cildren. The story follows Peter who, with the help of his animal friends, outsmarts a wolf. A different insrument and musical theme represent each character: the bird is the flute; the duck is the oboe; the cat is the clarinet; the grandfather is the bassoon; and the wolf is the French horn.
