Join us for a delightful performance of Le Carnaval des animaux (The Carnival of the Animals), the beloved and humorous musical suite by Camille Saint-Saëns. This playful concert will be narrated by Simon Provan, who will guide the audience through each animal-inspired movement with charm and wit.

We are delighted to feature guest artists Jinwoo Lee, Concertmaster of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra; Peter Thomas, cellist of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra; and pianist Eunice Kim, who has recently moved to the area.

This concert is perfect for audiences of all ages—especially young children! Kids are encouraged to bring their favorite stuffed animals and participate by singing and moving along with the music, making for a fun and interactive experience.
