Central Lutheran Church, Minneapolis
Featuring: Kevin Kling, narrator & Emily Kristen Morris, soprano
The MSO is thrilled to welcome back MSO artistic collaborator and gifted storyteller, Kevin Kling, for a performance of his enchanting “The Twelve Dancing Princesses,” commissioned by the MSO in 2019. Victor Zupanc’s music masterfully brings this fun-loving story to life. This will be a magical experience for all who attend! We are pleased to feature well-known New York City singer/actress, Emily Kristen Morris, singing “Let it Go” from Frozen. Kids won’t want to miss this! Sticking with the Royal theme, we’ll also perform dance music from Alexander Borodin’s Prince Igor and the exhilarating “In the Hall of the Mountain King” from Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt, among other “royal” tunes, including Steven Amundson’s regal Fanfare for the King of Norway. For those of you budding young conductors, ages 6 – 12, we’ll once again have a friendly competition for the chance to conduct the orchestra in one short piece. Plus, following the concert, kids will have the exciting opportunity to participate in an Instrument Petting Zoo! All who are young or young at heart are invited to join the fun!
