Bilingual Symphony for the Family
Lisa and Rick will give bilingual narration (Mandarin/English) to the beloved children’s story Peter and the Wolf while the orchestra plays the beautiful orchestral accompaniment by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev.
Also on the program: A Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra by Benjamin Britten, again with bilingual narration and Spring Festival Overture by Li Huan-zhi.
