Discover The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra & Peter and the Wolf

Discover The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra & Peter and the Wolf invites young audiences on a vibrant musical adventure with the National Symphony Orchestra Ireland, conducted by Karen Ní Bhróin. Twice presented, the program opens with Benjamin Britten’s 1946 masterpiece, The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, as presenter Jessie Grimes leads children through the orchestra’s rich palette of sounds, demystifying each instrument’s unique voice. In the second act, Sergey Prokofiev’s beloved Peter and the Wolf comes alive through stunning shadow‑puppetry performed by Maeve Clancy and Neasa Ní Chuanaigh, re‑imagining the tale for a fresh, visual‑auditory experience. Designed for primary‑school students from First Class and up, this concert film blends storytelling, puppetry, and orchestral brilliance into a magical fusion of sight and sound—an unforgettable journey that even the Oscar‑nominated Moonrise Kingdom admired.
