The concert, an introduction to the woodwind family of musical instruments for young children, will feature members of the school’s woodwind faculty demonstrating the full range of woodwind instruments – from the recorder and piccolo to the bassoon.
Designed to be educational, engaging and fun for children and their families, The Mighty Winds of Hoff-Barthelson will spark the imagination of the whole family through an exploration of the instruments and a sampling of each instrument’s repertoire.
Faculty performers will include Elly Ball, recorder; Joseph Piscitelli, flute; Donna Elaine, piccolo; Dorothy Duncan, clarinet and bass clarinet; Janet Grice, bassoon; and Betty Condon Fitzpatrick, oboe. And back by popular demand will be guest actor-singer Ron Spivak, who will narrate the story of The Mighty Winds of Hoff-Barthelson and lead the audience in song.
Audience participation will be encouraged. The concert is suitable for ages 5 and up and is free of charge
