If ever there was a good reason for a Sunday afternoon family outing, it is this concert!  Everyone, or almost everyone, knows the melodies and descriptive stories of the Carnival of the Animals (narrated in French) and the tale Peter and the Wolf (narrated in English). 

Be entranced by this magical blend of words and music as narrated by actor Jean Marchand.  On-stage will be 19 outstanding performers including many members of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra.

Let the child in you come to life!
