Prokofiev’s classic “Peter and the Wolf” brings to life the tale of a young boy on an adventurous exploration, narrated to enhance the experience. As he meets several new animal friends, the arrival of a ferocious wolf turns the adventure into a thrilling quest. Villagers band together to hunt the wolf and protect the town, leading to an unexpected twist. Additionally, the GSO will perform Holst’s lively “St. Paul’s Suite,” a delightful piece originally composed for the students at the school where Holst taught.
