Event Description
Sergei Prokofiev’s timeless tale of a boy and his animal friends’ bravery is brought to life with guest narrator Vella Lovell! An actress with a comic streak known for her roles in the TV series My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Mr. Mayor, the film The Big Sick, and who stars in the upcoming A Clüsterfünke Christmas, Lovell takes this classic musical fable from story to stage with the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra. Wattis Foundation Music Director of the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra Daniel Stewart takes the podium to lead this and other seasonal and holiday favorites.
