IWCB Presents: ANIMALIA

Join us for this lively concert program of music inspired by the world of animals both familiar and mythical.

From the anguished Cry of the Last Unicorn to a startling arachnid encounter with a Huntsman in the Car; the rugged landscapes of The Catskills in Appalachia and the high country immortalised in The Man from Snowy River; to jazz cats, baby elephants and Eric Whitacre's restless Equus, and music from ‘Sing’ and ‘The Lion King’, this program celebrates the animal kingdom.

Presented by the IWCB Wind Symphony 

(IWCB's Tuesday night ensemble)

Musical Director: Joshua McNulty
