Meet the Instruments!
WindSync’s signature concert program for children and families celebrates storytelling through music. The cornerstone is Sergei Prokofiev’s classic Peter and the Wolf. The musicians do triple duty as narrators, characters, and soundtrack in this fully staged adaptation, complete with costumes and choreography. Young people learn how the instruments produce sound through an old-fashioned Texas hoedown, and they apply musical terms to dance through selections from well-loved classical repertoire. The audience performs, too, clapping rhythm patterns in a rousing finale!
