Our traditional family concert opens the season! Experience how four different composers explore the colors of the orchestra and use them to paint pictures and tell stories. The narrated story “Peter and the Wolf” also introduces listeners to the instruments of the orchestra, each representing a different animal or character. And the winner of the DSO’s 2024–2025 Yen Liang Young Artist Competition will perform a wind, brass, or percussion concerto of the winner’s choosing!
