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 is a bit of a beast, or several in fact.

The 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.

We’ve also music from How to train your dragon, Fantastic beasts and where to find them, and music from the BBC’s adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ beloved The Lion, the witch, and the wardrobe. 

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

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