Musical Family Sundays
These music-theatre concerts are designed to introduce children and their parents to the joys of concert-going. Serving as both storytellers and characters, these musicians have more than one trick up their sleeves to teach young audiences about musical instruments and
to spin tales, each more bewitching than the last.
Flûte de flûte Victor !
Suzanne De Serres, author and composer
— Sunday, February 26 —
Victor the Beaver has to find some branches to repair
the family lodge. During his expeditions in the forest, this little beaver, so lively, resourceful, generous and talented, has encounters that derail his destiny. Victor takes us on a sparkling adventure with his friends the porcupine, the moose, the unicorn and the trout, all of whom need his help. Recorders, violin, accordion, crumhorn, dulciana, cittern, lyre, percussion, nursery rhymes and songs come together in this musical
theatre show, in which each character
is represented by an instrument, similar to Peter and the Wolf.
