Children's Orchestra Concert: Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham

The concert opens with Mozart's Toy Symphony, followed by the main event: Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham, an operatic adaptation of the beloved children's book composed by Robert Kapilow. This performance features Really Inventive Stuff creative team Sara Valentine and Michael Boudewyns, with guest artist Jennifer DeDominici, soprano.

As Time Out New York described Kapilow's work: “Adults will get a chance to hear what a gleefully sophisticated pastiche of modernism sounds like, and children, who might not understand the word ‘absurdist’ but have a natural affinity for the absurd, should feel right at home.”
