“Peter and the Wolf”
Your students will hear the music of three Russian composers who blazed a musical path from 19th-century Tsarist Russia into the 20th century: Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908); Reinhold Glière (1875 -1956) and Sergei Prokofiev ( 1891 – 1953).
The concert will highlight the Instruments of the Orchestra by way of the unique melodies that Prokofiev created to depict the characters from his famous musical symphony for children, Peter and the Wolf.
Your students will experience a superior level of musical performance and witness as their peers in the Northwest Indiana Youth Orchestra perform in concert side-by-side with the professional musicians of the Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra.
