Here’s how organizers describe the show:

“Complete with an instrument ‘petting zoo’ to help introduce kids of all ages to the instruments that make up the orchestra, the children’s program for the season, led by Music Director David Chan, is a delight for young listeners. This year the orchestra visits the zoo in music. Hear the regal lion, the silly rooster, and the graceful swan, along with the rest of the animals in this family favorite. Montclair town councilwoman, Dr. Renee Baskerville, will join pianist Allison Brewster Franzetti and the orchestra to provide the narrations for the journey. Also on the program are a selection of recognizable favorite orchestral selections by Mozart, Britten, Grieg and Bartók.”
