Overview

The SF Symphony Youth Orchestra brings Prokofiev’s timeless tale of a boy and his animal friends to life in Peter and the Wolf under the baton of newly appointed Wattis Foundation Music Director Radu Paponiu. Actor Joshua Dela Cruz, the host of Blue’s Clues & You!, stars as guest narrator. Experience this classic musical fable, along with selections from Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker, works by Antonín Dvořák, Johann Strauss II, and an audience carol sing-along.
