Bring the whole family to the South Bend Symphony Orchestra's Annual Family Concert for a heartwarming conclusion to your Thanksgiving weekend! The South Bend Symphony Orchestra, featuring the Notre Dame Children's Choir, brings the annual Shein Trust Family concert to life. Eudora Welty's The Shoe Bird is a fun and inspiring story for all ages!
"This enchanting tale, brought to life with the musical talents of the South Bend Symphony Orchestra and the Notre Dame Children's Choir, offers a unique opportunity for families to experience a magical blend of literature and music," said Alastair Willis, Music Director of the South Bend Symphony Orchestra. "We are thrilled to bring this delightful story to our community."
Adapted from Eudora Welty's book, The Shoe Bird is a musical fable written for children's choir, narration, and orchestra. The story follows Arturo, the parrot, when he picks up and repeats a boy's comment, "Shoes are for the birds!" which results in much chaos!
While describing the many birds of the story, the music introduces the audience to the orchestra's instruments by featuring each instrument of the woodwind section.
The Symphony thanks Shein Trust for supporting this concert series and Jordan Lexus of Mishawaka for being a distinguished Artistic Partner of the 2024-25 Season.
