Get the costumes ready for an afternoon of musical adventure with the Austin Symphony Orchestra! From dancing skeletons to a daring young hero and soaring dragons, this Halloween Children’s Concert brings storytelling to life on stage.
The music begins with Saint-Saëns’ Danse macabre, setting the scene for Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf. Host and performer Liz Zimmerman brings Peter’s adventure to life through narration, theatrical movement, and a trunk full of props and custom-made masks created by Alfonso Iduñate, especially for this presentation. Each character has a different instrumental voice, giving children a chance to discover the orchestra through a story they can see as well as hear.
The adventure continues with John Powell’s How to Train Your Dragon Suite, bringing the excitement of the film’s music into the concert hall. Throughout the program, Liz introduces young listeners to the instruments and helps families connect with the music.
Come early for pre-concert activities, wear your favorite costume, and make it a family afternoon at the symphony!
