Peter and the Wolf
Prokofiev
Family Performance
If you’ve been interested in the BBC’s current project of introducing classical music to children and younger people ‘Ten Pieces’ then you might well enjoy getting yourself and the young ones along to a narrative performance of Peter and the Wolf by Prokofiev.
Chamber House Winds along with narrator Jonathan Butcher introduce us to Prokofiev’s classic composition and the wind family of instruments – with the help of a very long hosepipe and some rather fetching headpieces. There are also short performances on individual instruments and an opportunity for the children to chat with the musicians. All of the members of Chamber house Winds are established orchestral and chamber players, as well as being solo artists.
This is a rare opportunity for young children to enjoy their first piece of orchestral music in this entertaining and intimate family concert and although unconnected with the current BBC project it’s certainly in the same spirit of making music engaging, interesting and most of all fun. It’s a one hour performance with an interval.
