How does music bring characters to life? Join the Pittsburgh Symphony for a performance of Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant by best-selling poet and author, Jack Prelutsky, with music by Lucas Richman. Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant is a collection of whimsical poems combining animals and objects to create new, fantastical characters. Associate Conductor Moon Doh leads the orchestra as vocalist Katy Williams narrates each poem alongside beautiful illustrations of each creature. Students are sure to love this musical mash-up as they meet Shoehornets, Alarmadillos, and of course, the Umbrellaphant!
