This enchanting CD features the classic tale about Ferdinand the Bull by Munro Leaf. The story has been set to music by Alan Ridout and is written for solo violin and narrator. Kids will have a wonderful time following along in the book as they listen to this captivating story and identify the musical themes that go along with each of the enjoyable characters. Also included on the CD are some of the best-known selections from Carnival Of The Animals and other favorites like The Flight Of The Bumble Bee, The Puppet Show, and The Laughing Violin. Each selection is played by violin, cello, double bass, flute or clarinet all with piano accompaniment. The performances are flawless. Each piece is introduced by a narrator who asks us to listen for certain things in the piece or delights us with amusing poetry from Ogden Nash and others. It's an absolutely delightful experience. Illustrations by Robert Lawson. Features Drostan Hall on violin and Dorothy Hall as narrator.

Welcome to Camerata Chicago, a string chamber orchestra consisting of 14 young prize winning musicians, which had its conception in 2003. The ensemble is equally at home in intimate settings as well as larger chamber music venues, performing the rich tapestry of diverse string repertoire including newly commissioned works. Camerata Chicago stands while playing, heightening the expressive freedom of the musicians, thus intensifying the projection of the music, as well as being visually compelling. Making music with the musicians of Camerata Chicago is a great privilege and I invite everyone to share that experience with me. Our first CD is taken from our debut concert and features music by Holst, Grieg and Blumhofer. See their next event.
