The New Haven Symphony Orchestra invites schools to join us for a special field trip to experience the magic of Peter and the Wolf! This engaging, 50-minute concert is conducted by NHSO’s music director, Perry So, and introduces students to the orchestra through Sergei Prokofiev’s timeless tale. Each character in the story is brought to life by a different instrument, making this a fun and interactive way for students to discover the unique sounds of an orchestra.

What to Expect:

— A 50-minute concert with no intermission. Peter and the Wolf will be on the program, as well as other pieces that show off the orchestra!
— There will be a screen over the orchestra with fun visuals.

Tickets:

Student tickets are $7 and chaperones are free. Schools, teachers, and homeschool families can book their group’s tickets by contacting Education@NewHavenSymphony.org.

This program is also available to the general public on Sunday, March 30 at 1PM. Click here to learn more. 

The Young People’s Concerts are sponsored by Bartels Trust for Public Education, the George A. & Grace L. Long Foundation, and Southern CT State University.
