Get ready for a wildly entertaining mashup of music, movement, and mystical characters!
The Canton Symphony Orchestra and Canton Ballet are teaming up for a show that’s equal parts epic and enchanting: Peter and the Wolf! Since 1978, Canton Ballet has been delighting audiences with this classic tale, pirouetting its way into the hearts of thousands of children across Northeast Ohio. Paired with the Canton Symphony Orchestra’s beloved Young People’s Concerts, this dynamic duo is giving kids their first unforgettable memory of live ballet and symphonic storytelling. In this collaborative performance, students won’t just sit back and watch—they’ll learn about music, movement, and the art of bringing stories to life. Will Peter and his animal friends outwit the Wolf and save the day? There’s only one way to find out…
Join us and leap into a live-action fairytale where every note and twirl tells a story!
