Heritage Week Concerts: Peter & the Wolf

Join us this Heritage Week for a series of early evening recitals given by members of the Cathedral’s Music Department.

Our last concert includes a performance of Prokofiev’s much-loved Peter & the Wolf heard here in an arrangement for narrator and organ. In the original, Prokofiev used various instruments from the orchestra to represent the characters in this delightful tale including the strings for Peter (the hero), horns for the menacing (and hungry) wolf, flute for the bird, oboe for the (spoiler alert) ill-fated duck, and clarinet for the cat.

Thankfully the Cathedral organ, one of the largest in the country, is more than a match for a symphony orchestra, all 4,000 pipes of it. 

A perfect concert for the young and the young at heart.

Admission is free, but as seating is limited, pre-booking is advised.
