THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES:
A musical Tale by Peter Schickele
for Oboe, Violin, Viola, Cello, Piano, and Narrator.
A delightful and humorous adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen tale about two scoundrels who promise to weave an Emperor a new suit of clothes that is invisible to anyone not smart enough to appreciate its quality. When the Emperor parades before his people in his new finery, a child cries out, “The Emperor isn’t wearing any clothes!”
A 40-minute concert ideal for children 5-10, their parents, and their grandparents. A free pre-concert “Musical Instrument Petting Zoo” courtesy of Music Center of the Northwest will begin at 10am.
