North Carolina Symphony Presents Rob Kapilow's GREEN EGGS AND HAM, 1/7
By: Jennie Mamary Dec. 12, 2011
The North Carolina Symphony welcomes all Whos, Things and Sam-I-Ams to Meymandi Concert Hall in downtown Raleigh for a family-friendly musical spin on Dr. Seuss's "Green Eggs and Ham," Saturday, Jan. 7, 2012, at 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
It is part of conductor/composer Rob Kapilow's celebrated FamilyMusik series.
Kapilow hosts the Symphony's performances and leads the orchestra in a Mozart-inspired take on the picture book classic. Blending symphonic music with direct interactions with young audience members, he expands on the book's message of acceptance and trying new things.
For more than a decade, Kapilow has brought the joy and wonder of classical music to audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Characterized by his unique ability to create an "aha" moment for his audiences and collaborators, whatever their level of musical education, Kapilow's work brings music into people's lives: opening new ears to musical experiences and helping people to listen actively rather than just hear.
General admission tickets to either NCS Kids performance of "Green Eggs and Ham" on Saturday, Jan. 7 are $20. For tickets, visit the North Carolina Symphony website at www.ncsymphony.org or call North Carolina Symphony Audience Services at 919.733.2750 or toll free 877.627.6724.
Meymandi Concert Hall is located in the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts, 2 E. South St., in Raleigh.
"Green Eggs and Ham" is the second of the Symphony 2011/12 NCS Kids concerts, held in Raleigh and designed for families and children ages four to 12. On March 10, 2012, the orchestra imitates the sounds of the greatest musicians in the bug world, including a performance of Flight of the Bumblebee, in "Bug Songs."
