The BPO presents a very special version of the The Carnival of the Animals with all-new narration by Buffalo playwright Jon Elston! Actor and BPO staff member Guy Tomassi guides you on this wild tour of the animal kingdom as only a Buffalonian could.

The animal theme continues as the musicians of the BPO take on the characteristics of your favorite critter while we learn about the instruments in The Young People’s Guide to the Orchestra. Stefan Sanders conducts.

Come at 1:30 PM for activities with the BlueCross BlueShield Healthy Zone Cruiser. Meet real animals from the Buffalo Zoo. Try out the instruments of the orchestra at the Twin Village Music Instrument Zoo. Enjoy crafts, games and stories with Tutor Doctor, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, and Monkey See, Monkey Do…Children’s Bookstore.
