Peter and the Wolf

Last week-end, the crew attended (along with papa W) the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra's recital of Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf. The performance was accompanied by a team of professional puppeteers.

Peter and the Wolf holds great memories for me; My father read the story to my brother and I faithfully throughout our childhood. My great grandparents were Germans from Russia, where the original story was set. As a cellist in high school, we annually played the musical score of Peter and the Wolf.

Although I was disenchanted that they modernized the story, the music was simply beautiful, and captivated two very active boys.

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. ~Victor Hugo~
