THE LISTENER

The conductor has a wonderful concert planned, but things get complicated by the unexpected participation of two overly-enthusiastic spectators. A bugle-playing mime who wants to sing opera and a tap-dancing ballerina are just part of the conductor's comic dilemma as two zany characters bring "the art of listening" to life.

JACK AND THE BEANSTALK

This concert-story, based on Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes, (adapted by Donald Sturrock, with original music by Georgs Pelecsis), features a cast of four actors, outrageous puppets and a stunning 60-foot beanstalk, which rises from the stage to the ceiling in a matter of seconds.

A YOUNG PERSON'S GUIDE TO THE ORCHESTRA

Join the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra and Conductor Alain Trudel as they perform Britten's A Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. This performance will feature none other than TSO Music Director, Peter Oundjian, who will trade in his baton to narrate this unforgettable classic.
