Once Upon an Orchestra

Clarinet Quartet
Aaron Collins, narrator

Two enchanting stories will come to life when your Space Coast Symphony Orchestra presents another installment of the popular Once Upon an Orchestra musical series for small fry.  Designed for preschool and kindergarten aged children, the 45-minute outdoor story time will feature members of the clarinet family. Accompanied by narration from conductor, Aaron Collins, the concert will feature Wonderland, inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and the World Premiere of R. Michael Daugherty's The Golden Goose.  The Golden Goose tells the story of a young man who is called a “simpleton” and considered by his family to be worthless. One day, he goes to the woods to cut down a tree and comes across an elderly man who asks for food. The boy offers the man all he has and in return, the man reveals to him the location of a golden goose.  Find out what happens!

Following this special program, join us for a chance to try out the instruments of the clarinet family, act out your favorite characters, and pose as a musician in our symphonic photo booth.
