Why You'll Love This Concert
Lions and tigers and... pianists? Oh, my!
Camille Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals takes us on a musical journey through the animal kingdom that's fun for all ages. Be sure to practice your lion roar... you may be asked to solo with the orchestra!
Not sure if you prefer twittering like a bird or trumpeting like an elephant? Now's your chance to find out! After the concert, kids of all ages will have the chance to interact with the players and try out the different instruments of the orchestra.

About 300 people went on a musical safari Sunday afternoon at the Redlands Symphony’s annual OrKIDstra Family Concert and Instrument Petting Zoo.
The Francois Dumont concert of Chopin and Beethoven was excellent. The two composers' works complemented each other. Dumont's performance was of the highest caliber. We will look forward to future offerings. Thank you Ransom for arranging this wonderful experience.
