Join us for the 2024–2025 season of Once Upon and Orchestra! This free, public family concert series invites multigenerational families to join Louisville Orchestra ensembles for fun, interactive storytelling through music performances at every library branch across Metro Louisville. Prior to each performance, LO staff will lead a craft activity using recycled materials – and audience members can play their homemade instruments during the show! No RSVP is required, and reading the book before attending is always encouraged but not necessary!
While bear slumbers through a long winter, his friends take refuge in his cave during a winter storm. Bear remains in a deep sleep while animal friends start a fire, make tea, popcorn, sing, and dance. When he finally wakes up, he’s surprised to find his cave full of uninvited guests who’ve been having a party without him! Told by a bass and cello, you will be sure to hear deep snoring sounds throughout the story. Score arranged/composed by 2023-24 LO Creators Corps composer, Tanner Porter.
The series is made possible through funding from The Library Foundation with support from the Robert H. Reakirt Foundation Equities through the PNC Charitable Trusts Grant Review Committee.
