Peter and the Wolf

OVERVIEW

For nine decades, kids have discovered the symphony orchestra through Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, the tale of a young boy who captures a menacing wolf with the help of his animal friends. Music and narration combine to vividly illustrate the adventure—from the chirping bird (played by the flute), to the grumbling grandfather (bassoon), to Peter’s own heroic melody singing out in the strings. It’s the perfect way to nurture a love of orchestral music in young listeners!

Family Series concerts are roughly 60 minutes—perfect for wiggly bodies under 10—and include hands-on pre-concert activities in the lobby.

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES

Shhh… did you hear that? The wolves might be hiding nearby! Get to Maurice Abravanel Hall early for hands-on music fun in the lobby! See if you can find the hidden wolves, then discover the instruments that bring Peter, the bird, the duck, the cat, and the wolf to life. Get ready to follow Peter into the woods for a musical adventure with the Utah Symphony!
