This January, conductor Conner Gray Covington leads your family on a thrilling trip to our musical zoo! Things get buzzing with Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s zippy Flight of the Bumblebee. In Camille Saint-Saëns’s humorous Carnival of the Animals, clucking chickens, lumbering elephants, and braying donkeys all make their appearance. Works by Modest Mussorgsky, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, and Ludwig van Beethoven paint vivid scenes of children playing, swans dancing, and birds calling to each other by a brook. Our visit ends with The Mountain That Loved a Bird, in which Caroline Shaw’s stirring music brings Alice McLerran’s heartwarming fable to musical life.
