Honored to narrate Peter and the Wolf

This is a great personal honor for me to be able to narrate this wonderful work of classical music, and childrens stories. I remember being introduced to classical music, as a child, by listening to Peter and the Wolf. I would listen to it over and over again, because I loved the story, and loved the way the story was told through the instruments in the orchestra. It was enchanting to me then, stirring my imagination as a child, and is just as enchanting to me now.

More music by Prokofiev and Haydn

The evening of music will include Prokofievs’ Classical Symphony, and Haydns’ Symphony No. 104 in D major.

    Always pleased to see news of any new performance you are in but this one in particular. Like you this was a childhood memory that brings back so many warm feelings. I know you will be wonderful as the narrator, how could you NOT be so?
    I have placed you on my “bucket list” of things to see before I go (nothing expected or soon I hope) but I would truly cherish to see and hear you perform one day.

    Always best wishes for your talented work to continue.
