The Carnival of the Animals is an entertaining 14-movement work by French Romantic composer Camille Saint-Saens.
This work was originally intended to be performed for the students at a school and is scored for Strings TWO Pianos Xylophone Clarinet and Flute. Saint-Saens specified that it should NOT be published in his lifetime for fear it would detract from his more serious work. It turns out he was right for it has become his most popular work.
The Abbotsford Youth Orchestra (directed by Calvin Dyck) will be joined by 11 talented local pianists and will perform all 14 short movements adding a few additional movements from the “Canadian Carnival of the Animals” by Vancouver composer Cameron Wilson. We will be including the Skunk the Moose and the Loon.
Tickets are only available online and are less expensive if you buy them in advance as opposed to buying them at the door.
