Release the Animals
Filed Saturday, December 15 2007.

If you live in New York and have kids, or know someone who does, consider catching the Greenwich Village Orchestra's annual family concert tomorrow afternoon.

I got roped into subbing the principal trumpet part, and by the looks of this morning's dress rehearsal, the concert should be a lot of fun: built around Saint-Saen's "Carnival of the Animals", replete with narration, costumed dancers playing the animals, and a post-concert 'instrument petting zoo'.

Takes place tomorrow (Sunday, December 16), 3:00pm at Washington Irving Auditorium (Irving Plaace between 16th & 17th).

[As a bonus for attending, you can also marvel at my terrible, terrible attempt at playing a horse whinny sound on the trumpet at the end of the 'Sleigh Ride' finale. Giddyup!]
