Cape Symphony presents Forever Young

About Cape Symphony presents Forever Young...Do you remember what brought you to love the symphony? Or the sights and sounds of your first experience in the concert hall? This performance for adults embraces the innocence of youth and the essence of why we've been captivated by classical music all our lives.

Among the treasures we'll perform is The Sorcerer's Apprentice by Paul Dukas, known worldwide from Walt Disney's Fantasia. Camille Saint-Saëns' The Carnival of the Animals is filled with sophisticated musical jokes and allusions. These beloved works, often heard for the first time in childhood, were written for worldly audiences by highly refined composers, including Benjamin Britten, whose The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra is as brilliant as any of his creations. Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev wrote Peter and the Wolf to encourage children's interest in music, and will be as wonderful to hear under Jung-Ho Pak's direction as it was when you were a child.

For the "Tarantella" by David Popper, we'll be joined by a special guest, cellist Cameron Renshaw. Cameron is a true prodigy, making his orchestral solo debut at the age of eight with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra. He has performed in some of the world's greatest concert halls, such as Carnegie Hall and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. We're excited to have Cameron make his Cape Symphony debut.
