Musical Super Heroes

This January, Conductor Emerita Gisèle Ben-Dor leads Pro Arte through an adventure of music and storytelling that will thrill your whole family. In The Story of Babar, the tale of a little elephant’s journey from orphan to king is accompanied at every turn by Francis Poulenc’s picturesque music. Our young soloist, Sofia Hernandez-Williams, shines in the irrepressible finale of Joseph Haydn’s first cello concerto. Sensemayá, by Mexican composer Silvestre Revueltas, is a spellbinding depiction of an Afro-Caribbean ceremony in which a ritualist must subdue a snake. Our program ends with the riotous Toy Symphony, in which playful instruments like a triangle, a rattle, and a cuckoo whistle all try to steal the spotlight. We are joined in this fantastic event by Eric Bornstein and Behind the Mask Studio, featuring stunning puppets to aid in the storytelling! Instrument petting zoo begins at 2pm!
