Lincoln University, PA – Lincoln University will be hosting The Kennett Symphony of Chester County’s presentation of Peter and the Wolf in the International Cultural Center on Saturday, March 5, 2011 at 2 pm. General admission is free for all ages and tickets are not required to enter.
The Sergei Prokofiev’s rendition is the centerpiece of The Kennett Symphony’s annual Free Children’s Concerts under the direction of Music Director Mary Woodmansee Green. Actor and raconteur Michael Boudewyns will narrate the children’s classic, which features members of the orchestra in the parts of Peter, his grandfather, the bird, duck, cat, hunters and, of course, the wolf.
Maestra Green will open the hour-long concert for children of all ages and their families, with short demonstrations of strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion, and a special appearance by violinist Philip E. Carter, 2nd-place Kennett Symphony 2010 Instrumental Competition Winner. Eighteen-year-old Philip is in the 12th grade and schooled at home. The son of Norman and Lori Carter of Bensalem, PA, he has studied violin for nine years and is currently a private student of Lee Snyder at the Settlement Music School.
Michael Boudewyns has become a guest artist with several symphony orchestras throughout the country with popular family concerts, presenting vaudeville-inspired performances of works such as Peter and the Wolf, The Story of Babar, Tubby the Tuba, and Green Eggs and Ham. Michael’s theatre credits include American Players Theatre, Delaware Theatre Company, Resident Ensemble Players (REP), Enchantment Theatre Company, First State Children’s Theater Company, and the Utah and Baltimore Shakespeare Festivals. He is a graduate of the University of Northern Iowa and the Professional Theatre Training Program (PTTP) at the University of Delaware.
In addition to the concerts, immediately following each performance the Symphony will offer its popular Instrument Petting Zoo, in which children interact with the musicians and their instruments, Peter and the Wolf puzzles, activities, face painting and more!
