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.
Saturday evening’s concert was as good as any I have attended the Redlands Symphony in the 17 years I have purchased season tickets.
Anne-Marie McDermott’s performance was absolutely amazing, and it was a rare privilege to be in the audience to hear her perform. The orchestra rose to the occasion, as they have for every concert Maestro Wilson has conducted.
We are so fortunate to have this wonderful director, orchestra, and guest musicians play for us.
