A Musical Mystery
Internal Announcement Text:
The Carnival of the Animals
A Musical Mystery with Juri Tetzlaff
Stenzl Piano Duo
Friederike Scheunchen, Conductor
Recommended Age: Ages 5 and up
The lion wakes up from his afternoon nap in his grand palace and is just about to get ready for the Carnival of the Animals that evening—but what’s this? His precious crown has disappeared! The furious King of the Animals sets out on a search and is actively supported by wise oracle turtles, attentive kangaroos, Sherlock Fox and his lugworm Watson, as well as many other animals. Will he find his crown in time before the carnival begins?
The “Zoological Fantasy,” as Saint-Saëns himself called his work, was not published until years after his death; today, this music—inspired by the calls and movements of animals—is among his best-known compositions.
