Meet some of the wonderful members of the animal kingdom through Saint-Saëns’ famous Carnival of the Animals! Each musical movement captures the essence of a particular animal – will you recognize them all? This beloved work is an all-time favorite for introducing children to classical music. To add to the fun, LACO has invited budding authors from 826LA’s writing program to create the poems.

The concert takes place at the Alex Theatre in Glendale.
