Peter and the Wolf: school holidays music at Artrise

An unforgettable musical adventure through the forest awaits!

Inventi introduce children of all ages to the magic of music with Prokofiev’s century-old tale Peter and the Wolf arranged for five instruments.

Through the story of young Peter, his grandfather, and their animal kingdom friends the bird, duck, and cat, audiences will explore this classic tale and develop a new appreciation for the music and sounds made by instruments often found in a symphony orchestra.

With Peter represented by the strings, the bird by the flute, the duck by an oboe, and the cat by the clarinet, this timeless tale of a young boy and his animal friends’ bravery is fun for the whole family!
