Peter and the Wolf

Discover the magic of the orchestra together in a joyful family concert at Wellington Town Hall.

NZSO Music Education Animateur Chris Lam Sam introduces two much-loved classics designed to open young ears to the instruments of the orchestra. In Britten’s The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, each instrumental family gets its moment to shine before the whole ensemble comes together in a thrilling finale.

Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf tells an unforgettable story through musical characters: the bird in the flute, the duck in the oboe, the cat in the clarinet—and the wolf in the horns.

Whether this is your child’s first live concert or a chance to share a favourite from your own childhood, this lively performance offers wonder, laughter and discovery for the whole whānau.
