A selection of works depicting animals by Camille Saint-Saëns, Sergei Prokofiev, Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Modest Mussorgsky.
Matinee for families!
A bumblebee, a lion, a dinosaur, fish, turtles, swans, ducks, chickens, birds, a cat, an antelope, a kangaroo, an elephant, a wolf ... no, these are not vignettes from David Attenborough’s
Planet Earth, but rather the chorus of creatures we will hear at Festival Maribor’s Symphonic Matinee. Music connoisseurs would surely be able to list some of those animals depicted in music, but
certainly not all of them that can be found in the works of different composers. And who in our country is more qualified to present all this musical and zoological wealth for children than the experienced Jeunesses Musicales of Slovenia, our coproducer for this concert?
The Slovenian National Theatre Maribor Symphony Orchestra with conductor
Simon Krečič and a troupe of young dancers from the
Harlequin Dance School will grace the stage. Rounding out the entertaining and educational lesson will be the peerless actor and poet
Andrej Rozman (affectionately known throughout Slovenia as ‘Roza’) who, with choice words (and movements), nimbly guides listeners young and old through the luxurious and colourful musical animal kingdom.
In cooperation with Jeunesses Musicales Slovenia and Slovenian National Theatre Maribor.
