TWO MASTERPIECES OF MUSIC FOR THE YOUNG

[download the teachers guide for this concert in pdf]

A young boy tries to capture a wolf, and a soldier and a doll fall in love: two of the most beloved musical works for children, two major composers, two enchanting worlds.

Nathan Brock conducts this exceptional concert that takes the audience on a symphonic journey into the heart of imagination. For this performance, Didier Lucien, a well-known actor for young audiences, will bring to life the characters in Peter and the Wolf, and students from the École supérieure de ballet du Québec will interpret The Toybox.
