The story of The Princess and the Pea comes to life when your Space Coast Symphony Orchestra presents another installment of Once Upon an Orchestra in partnership with the Vero Beach Art Museum. Designed for preschool and kindergarten aged children, the 45-minute story time will feature members of the string family, including the violin, viola, and cello. The Princess and the Pea is a literary fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. It is a story about a princess who is tested to become wife to a lonely prince. In this work, the tale is presented by a narrator, with the string quartet bringing the story to life in a musical way. There are many features in this work that are sure to interest audiences of all ages. Different motifs are used to differentiate between characters and settings. This selection also features the use of props.
Following this special performance, join us for a chance to try out the instruments of the string family, act out your favorite character from the story, and pose as a musician in our symphonic photo booth.
