The Caroline W. Gannett & Clayla Ward Chair Thomas Warfield, narrator BRITTEN The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra PROKOFIEV Violin Concerto No. 2 LIEBERMANN Frankenstein Waltzes PROKOFIEV Peter and the Wolf

It’s always an extra-special evening when the RPO’s beloved concertmaster, Julianna Athayde, performs as soloist. Hear her virtuosity in Prokofiev’s tender Second Violin Concerto. Also, diabolic dances from Lowell Liebermann’s ballet Frankenstein. Plus, two works for children of all ages: Benjamin Britten introduced generations of listeners to classical music with his Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, spotlighting each section before bringingthem together in a shimmering climax. And Thomas Warfield, RIT’s Director of Dance, enchants with his telling of Peter and the Wolf
