Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra

Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra

Presented by Kansas City Symphony at Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts

Jason Seber, David T. Beals III Associate Conductor

There’s a reason this masterpiece is one of Benjamin Britten’s best-known works. From the violins to the triangle, tuba and harp, the Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra is a fun and classic introduction to orchestral instruments. Britten inspired generations of young audiences with this catchy set of variations on a theme by Henry Purcell. The famous work continues to be popular today in TV and film, including Wes Anderson’s “Moonrise Kingdom.”
