Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? Join our pianist on a wild adventure through the woods! Meet brave Peter, his stern grandfather, a chatty duck, a clever bird and a cunning cat. Will Peter capture the wolf and save the day? Hear Prokofiev's timeless musical tale unfold in an interactive storytelling experience for the whole family.

This concert will not feature nursery rhymes, instead the music performance will be interwoven with narration and interactive elements. Feel free to come dressed up and be ready to flit about like the clever bird and quack like a duck. Ideal for primary-age children, as well as babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers.
