Description
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra`s (CSO) Once Upon a Symphony® program, makes its debut at Glen Ellyn`s McAninch Arts Center (MAC), with `The Little Red Hen.` `The Little Red Hen` takes the classic children`s story about an industrious little red hen and her farmyard friends and brings it to life with small ensemble performances by CSO musicians and vivid storytelling, along with imaginative sets, costumes and visual projections created by Chicago Children`s Theatre. Chicago-based actor and teaching artist Lily Emerson joins CSO string players Susan Synnestvedt (violin), Catherine Brubaker (viola) and Daniel Armstrong (bass) in the new, original production. Music by Beethoven, Dvorák, Haydn and Saint-Saëns is included in the program.Preconcert activities, led by collaborating music educators, begin 45 minutes before the performance. This event is recommended for children ages 3-5.
