Everyone knows the story of Pinocchio, but have you ever heard it narrated to a dynamic musical score, with violin, cello, clarinet, flute, piano and percussion? Bring the whole family to hear this classic tale, brought to life by American composer Michael Gandolfi and enjoy it all over again with this refreshingly tuneful rendition. In addition, our young audiences will be introduced to the various instruments in the ensemble, with fun facts to highlight their special individual qualities.
