Peter and the Wolf performed by NEWE 2026
About
New England Wind Ensemble (NEWE) is performing the classic Peter and Wolf story with music. Conducted by Paul Marshall and narrated by Louisa Sindel-Marshall, this delightful performance is suitable for young children and adults alike.Composed by Russian Sergei Prokofiev, we hear the tale of young Peter who strays from his garden ignoring his Grandfather’s orders, and meets a variety of animals including the dreaded wolf. Each animal is represented by an instrument in the group.
There will be an introduction and demonstration of woodwind, brass and percussion instruments, perfect for young children who might be thinking about learning an instrument in the future.
The concert will last less than 1 hour, perfect for first -time concertgoers (suitable for ages 3-100).
There are many versions of the story and music online, in bookshops and at the library. Families might like to spend time listening and reading the story together beforehand to become familiar with the tale, but this is not a prerequisite. You can also find free colouring pages for Peter and the Wolf online.
Also on the programme is A Night at the Circus composed by Paul Marshall. This descriptive short work musically describes Some Serious Clowns, Wire Walkers, Illusionists and Under the Big Top.
The concert aims to be a celebration of music, story telling and the joyful imagination of children.
The venue is New England Conservatorium of Music (NECOM) in the Old Teachers College.
Please be aware that the auditorium is upstairs. There is a chair lift if needed. There will be pram parking downstairs.
