Gorgeous tunes and orchestral thrills for the young and young at heart: with a twinkle in her eye, the warm, whimsical and occasionally wicked Miriam Margolyes leads us through an orchestral storytelling extravaganza. Matching instruments to their animal counterparts in Prokofiev's timeless classic, Peter and the Wolf exploring witty vignettes and a dazzling fugue in Benjamin Britten's The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra and magical tales of love and fantasy in Borodin's Polovstian Dances from Prince Igor. Margolyes is joined by the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra with Principal Conductor Nicholas Carter in a captivating program filmed live in concert at the 2017 Adelaide Festival - a sellout performance season that was a crowd-pleaser for young and old.
