Lima, OH (March 30, 2022) – The Lima Symphony Orchestra presents the classic children’s work “Peter and the Wolf” by Sergei Prokofiev performed by woodwind quintet for their final Mornings with the Maestro program of the 2021-2022 season. The performance will take place at the Lima Public Library (650 W Market St, Lima, OH 45801) on Saturday, April 9 at 10:30. Mornings with the Maestro are vibrant educational programs dreamed up by Maestro Andrew Crust and featuring Lima Symphony Orchestra musicians. These programs are intended to introduce young audiences to the basic elements of music in fun and engaging ways.

“Peter and the Wolf” was composed in 1936 by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev for narrator and orchestra. This musical fairy tale for children features a narrator who tells the story of precocious young Peter who, against his grandfather’s warnings, ventures out into the field beyond the garden gate and encounters a wolf! Against all odds, Peter captures the wolf and the light-hearted work ends with an entourage escorting the wolf to the zoo. Prokofiev designed the work as an introduction to orchestral instruments for young audiences, and each character in the story is represented by a different instrument and theme. This program is appropriate for all ages and is free and open to the public.

Mornings with the Maestro performances are part of the Lima Symphony’s ongoing commitment to music education and their firm belief that music and the other arts are critical tools in building strong communities. This series is supported by The Lima Public Library, Keystone Meats, and The Rotary Club of Lima.
