DiMenna Performing Arts Center, 450 W 37th Street
Cary Hall
On Saturday, 1 December @3:00pm at the DiMenna Performing Arts Center (Cary Hall), the UN Chamber Music Society of the United Nations Staff Recreation Council will perform a Concert for Children in aid of Teach the World Foundation’s mission to alleviate illiteracy among refugees and children in developing countries. A reception will follow the performance.
The Conductor’s Spellbook tells the magical story of Tony Stradivarius. During a field trip to the symphony, young Tony finds a powerful book of spells and uses it to control the orchestra. Through an exciting and interactive concert experience, audiences are introduced to music, orchestral instruments, and even conducting! Over 50 beautiful multimedia illustrations accompany the performance. The work is “through composed,” is narrated, and is suitable as a family concert for parents and children of all ages. With over 40 performances in the last two years by major orchestras such as the Detroit Symphony and the Singapore Symphony, The Conductor’s Spellbook is quickly becoming the new standard in educational interactive works for young audiences. We are excited to share this work with you!
