TCS presents two children's concerts on the theme "Welcome to the Zoo!" We are thrilled to welcome back our narrator, Navida Stein, who will lead the children through an interactive performance with the orchestra. Our program will feature friendly pieces based on our theme including Prokofiev's perennial favorite, Peter and the Wolf, as well as selections from Carnival of the Animals, and a world premiere by our own Seth Bedford entitled Ballet of the Rubber Chickens.
Join us 30 minutes prior to each concert for engaging activities related to the program such as a bird-whistle workshop, animal origami, and an instrument petting zoo. We will present the same performance on Sunday, February 21, in a new location, the Brooklyn Music School, as well as on Saturday, February 27, at our home base in Chelsea at St. Paul's Church.
February 21 at 2 PM - Brooklyn Music School, 126 St Felix St, Brooklyn

Activities begin at 1:30 PM both dates
Concert at 2:00 PM
