Saturday, February 4th, 10am. FREE.
Annemieke and Jeremiah McLane perform Poulenc’s The Story of Babar, the Little Elephant with narrator Becky Bailey. Upper Valley-based musical couple Annemieke and Jeremiah McLane perform their own piano/accordion arrangement of Poulenc’s musical setting of the children’s classic book The Story of Babar, with Upper Valley singer and actor Becky Bailey as narrator. Composed in 1940 to please a 3-year-old relative, Poulenc’s setting is sublime musical storytelling, both sophisticated and accessible, a delight for all ages. Poulenc’s musical colors, jaunty rhythms and snappy sound effects are accentuated by the McLanes' arrangement. In addition the couple will perform works by Anton Dvorak. http://www.artistreevt.org/babar-the-elephant-story.html
