Concerts for Kids- The Tortoise and the Hare | Kids Out and About St. Louis

Concerts for Kids- The Tortoise and the Hare

On your mark. Get set. Go! Who will cross the finish line first—the fast and confident hare or the slow but determined tortoise? Set to the music of Ludwig van Beethoven, Gioachino Rossini, Edward Elgar, and Antonín Dvořák, we bring The Tortoise and the Hare to life as children dance and play along with the musicians of the SLSO. Based on the book The Tortoise and the Hare by Alison Ritchie, illustrated by Nahta Nój.
