Carnival of the Animals

Join us for two live performances of Carnival of the Animals at the Chrysalis, presented in partnership with the Inner Arbor Trust! A small group of musicians and dancers from Dance Connections will perform Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals and Aesop’s Fables by Richard Maltz at the Chrysalis for a small socially-distanced audience of 200 people. It may look a little different from our regular Young People’s Concerts, but your child is sure to enjoy this fun-filled introduction to the orchestra led by our entertaining Music Director Jason Love! This event will last approximately 45 minutes.

Rain date: Sunday, September 27th

We are following CDC guidelines for appropriate mask wearing and social distancing of at least 6 feet from other parties.
