A Hans Christian Andersen Classic Retold Through String

If you've never heard a fairy tale told through strings, next Saturday morning at the Vero Beach Museum of Art is a good place to start.

The Space Coast Symphony Orchestra returns to VBMA on March 14 with The Princess and the Pea, Hans Christian Andersen's classic, reimagined through violin, viola, and cello, and admission is free!

Conductor and Artistic Director Aaron T. Collins narrates the 45-minute performance, part of the Symphony's Once Upon an Orchestra series. It's geared toward preschool and kindergarten-aged kids and their families, kicking off at 11 a.m. in the Leonhardt Auditorium.

After the show, families can meet the musicians, get up close with the instruments, and join in artmaking activities, gallery mini-tours, and sketching sessions, all part of VBMA's free monthly Second Saturdays programming.

This is the second Once Upon an Orchestra concert of the season, following November's Pinocchio. More information here.
