Did You Know? Sergei Prokofiev composed Peter and the Wolf in just a few days in 1936 to teach children about orchestral instruments!

“[The Family Concert] was a wonderful event for children (and grownups as well). It made orchestra music approachable for a 7-year old, and the petting zoo before made the experience more complete, she loved it.” – Family Concertgoer
