. . . the boy Peter (the strings) and his friend the bird (flute) wander out into the garden, where they encounter a duck (oboe) and a cat (clarinet). Peter’s grandfather (bassoon) warns Peter of a dangerous wolf that might attack if he strays outside the garden gates. But Peter does not heed this advice, and sure enough, the wolf (horns) appears. A group of hunters (timpani) come to the rescue, but they arrive to find that Peter and the bird have already outsmarted the beast—although not before . . .
You'll have to research what happened next: http://www.centreorchestra.org/education/ The Pennsylvania Centre Orchestra, conducted by Dr. Douglas Meyer, played and narrated the the conclusion of Sergei Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf for our students. Teachers, staff, and students of State College Friends School are grateful for the performance by the orchestra members. We are also grateful to the sponsors of this education outreach program: Sheetz, The State College Kiwanis, Gordon Wells, and Anne and Lynn Hutcheson. Comments are closed.
