The Owensboro Symphony’s fun and imaginative program, Symphony Storytime, is making its way to surrounding counties this summer. On June 3, the program will kick off at the McLean County Public Library. The tour’s featured book is Peter and the Wolf. This story is about a young boy called Peter who lives with his grandfather, who warns him about being outside because a wolf roams the woods. However, when the wolf threatens his only animal friends—a duck, a bird and his grandfather’s cat—Peter decides to ignore his grandfather’s warning and save them. There are several upcoming stops this summer:
Tuesday, June 3 – 5 p.m.
McLean County Public Library

Henderson County Public Library
Tuesday, July 1 – 10 a.m.

About Symphony Storytime
Symphony Storytime introduces students to some of the most recognizable classical music through the reading of stories from The Story Orchestra book series. Classical music is brought to life for children through gorgeously illustrated retellings of classical ballet, opera, and program music stories paired with sound clips of orchestras playing from their musical scores. Each Symphony Storytime includes the reading of a storybook with musical interludes from famous orchestral works and a music education component where students will learn about the composer and the music heard and can ask questions and interact with the Owensboro Symphony’s education team. This engaging program will be fun, imaginative, and educational for all who listen.
