PULLMAN, Wash.- Washington State University’s Symphony Orchestra will perform Serge Prokofieff’s “Peter and the Wolf,” during an 8 p.m., concert Thursday, Feb. 19, in Bryan Hall Auditorium. Georg Philipp Telemann’s “Don Quixote Suite” also will be on the program.
Directed by Erich Lear, the well-known tale of “Peter and the Wolf” will be brought to life with the narration of WSU communications Professor Glenn Johnson, better known to audiences as the public address announcer for Cougar sports.
The strings, led by concertmaster Shelley Rotz, play Peter, while flutist Franji Holland plays the Bird. Oboist Sara Blake plays the Duck, while clarinetist Sojourner Bush plays the Cat. Bassoonist Amy Guerin plays Peter’s grandfather and french hornists Maggie Shelton, Joe Marquiss and Holly Wysaske play the Wolf. Percussionists Adam Harvey and Jason Stanfill will be the Hunters.
The “Don Quixote Suite” presents a musical picture through a collection of dances, said Lear. The collection depicts the Don, his companion Sancho Pansa, his interest in Princess Aline, his attack on the windmills and other scenes.
The concert is open to the public at no change. Children of all ages are encouraged to attend, the director said.
