The Symphony Orchestra had a free family concert featuring The Carnival of the Animals by Saint-Saens on Saturday! They did this in conjunction with the library, who hosted a series of workshops featuring mask maker and dancer Jamie Peck. DH had to cancel the 30-Hour Famine due to snow, so he was able to stay home with Nicholas and Daniel, and Michael and Katie Grace were hard at work making masks.
And, voila, Zazu and Simba!
The concert was wonderful. It also featured Mendelsohn's A Midsummer's Night Dream (Katie Grace enjoyed listening for the donkey brays!) and a Chopin concerto. I was a little disturbed by the fact that Daniel was really digging the Chopin, LOL!
The masks and dancing was pretty incredible, even if the pictures weren't (no flashes in the concert hall!)
Finally, baby spam!
