The Mary Tripp Marks School-Time Series
at the Clemens Center
|
The Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes is pleased to once again be a part of the Mary Tripp Marks School-Time Series at the Clemens Center for the 2019-2020 season. This program has reached out to area educators and their students to provide performing arts experiences enriching the lives of young people.
Over the years, the audience has grown to include not only regional public and private schools, but also home-schools, pre-schools, individual families and the general public. Since 1979, the Mary Tripp Marks School-Time Series has touched the lives of more than half a million young people with curriculum-related programs. For many of them, this is their first introduction to the experience of a live orchestral concert. |
Peter and the Wolf
by Sergei Prokofiev
March 6, 2020 at 10:00 AM
Clemens Center
A boy named Peter, his grandfather, a wolf, a bird, a duck, a cat, and hunters will appear on stage dancing and acting out the musical narrative of Peter and the Wolf. This children’s favorite composed by Sergei Prokofiev uses different melodies, instruments, and styles of playing to represent each character. The Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes, conducted by Toshiyuki Shimada, is joined by the Wyoming Seminary Dance Company to bring this story to life through music and dance.
Also on this program will be an introduction by a living composer, Polina Nazaykinskaya, as the OSFL performs her composition Fenix.
