BSO Midweek Concert: Babar

Babar the Little Elephant

Angie Jordan, cartoonist
Rheda Becker, narrator

There is definitely an elephant in the room when beloved children’s book Babar the Elephant comes to life on stage. Listen to the instruments of the orchestra reveal the book’s many characters as the BSO performs Francis Poulenc’s lively and light-hearted music. Award-winning cartoonist Angie Jordan will illustrate the story, whisking your students away to Babar’s elephant kingdom.

Featured Work:

Can be won over with a good glass of wine or something homemade. Addicted to Pinterest. Only pretends to know what she's doing with her SLR, even though she's got a fantastic lens on it. Thankful it does most of the work for her.
