Louisville Orchestra musicians perform original music created around familiar and beloved children’s books. The FREE performances include small ensemble performances preceded by a hands-on activity to build a musical instrument from recycled materials, so everyone can play along.
The award-winning If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, is one of the most beloved children’s books of all time and has been reimagined as part of the LO’s Once Upon An Orchestra series. This interpretation told by a woodwind quintet which features a clarinet, oboe, flute, bassoon and french horn is lively, upbeat and fun for the whole family. Score arranged/composed by 2023-24 LO Creators Corps composer, Alex Berko.
