Lions and tigers and ... cellists? Oh, my!
Camille Saint-Saëns’s Carnival of the Animals is an enchanting musical expedition through the animal kingdom. This delightful piece has become one of Saint-Saëns’s most famous, with each movement depicting a different animal, from the royal lion to the graceful swan. It even served as inspiration for John Williams’s score to the Harry Potter film franchise! Your child's imagination will transform the hall into a lively zoo and the Orchestra’s talented musicians will excite even the littlest lion cubs.
