Peter and the Wolf

I really like getting a great deal and boy did we get a great deal buying these tickets as a group with our friends and for the whole season; essentially we got three concerts for the price of one.  The fact that the deal involved going the symphony made it absolutely perfect.  I adore classical music, in fact the classical channel is the only radio channel I listen to at home or in the car, my kids are very cultured :-D

Today, was the first in the series, Peter and the Wolf, a family favorite.  Before the concert the kids had fun trying out different instrument at the instrument petting zoo.  Then they had a parade across the stage for all the kids that wanted to show off the costumes they had worn.  Amber of course was happy to show off her Princess outfit.  We were all very excited as you can tell.

The symphony was acted out on stage by some members of the North Carolina Ballet.  Amber had her picture taken with the ALL the performers (by request) but she said the duck was her favorite.  I think this was the best symphony, based on quality of sound, that we have ever attended.  We were all very impressed.

After, we had a picnic dinner to eat on the lawn, the parents enjoyed some lively conversations and the kids some fun running around on the lawn.  Great friends, great music, great weather, a truly wonderful evening.
