Feb 18-20, 2010 - A young boy and his animal friends face a hungry wolf in Prokofievs classic masterpiece, Peter and the Wolf. Michael Christie conducts this legendary score to the accompaniment of last year's Academy Award surprise, the stop-animation film which won the 2008 Oscar for Best Animated Short Film. The concert is paired with one of Adams' earlier compositions, the energetic Shaker Loops as well as Prokofiev's popular "Classical" Symphony. More info and tickets at www.phoenixsymphony.org
I throughly enjoyed this multi-media performance. I'm embarrassed to say I was so absorbed in the animated film that I failed to pay attention to the music. Sorry Michael!
The John Adams performance was unique. The strings were awesome. Great music as always.
