Great Fun with Peter and the Wolf

The Trinity Alps Chamber Music Festival celebrated its fourth year with a special springtime tour that was all about the kids.

A dozen professional musicians from California and Oregon came together April 1-6, 2014 to present a special version of Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, and performed for over 2,500 students at 7 schools in Northern California. The ensemble also performed 4 public concerts in Hayfork, Weaverville, Redding, and San Francisco -- a very busy week! Musicians in costume acted out the story of Peter, the Bird, the Cat, the Duck, his Grandfather, the Hunters, and the fearsome Wolf, while festival director Ian Scarfe narrated.

Kids not only got to experience this classical favorite, but also had a chance to talk to musicians, see the different instruments of the orchestra, and to hear other music from Disney's recent movie "Frozen" - a real crowd-pleaser!

In addition, the public concerts offered audiences a chance to hear oboist Denis Harper perform his rendition of Telemann's Oboe Concert - an imaginative baroque work of incredible virtuosity.

This week long tour was made possible by support from many individuals as well as Scotts Valley Bank. You can help support worthy projects like this by making a donation to the Trinity Alps Chamber Music Festival! We need your support!
