A Family Festival Concert

Ken-David Masur, conductor
Paul Maley, narrator -

Local actor Paul Maley joins us as instruments from all over the world compete to see which ones play the loudest, the softest, the highest and the lowest! San Diego Symphony musicians will go for the gold in various events such as the low note limbo, the fast note dash, the marathon and others featured in Gregory Smith’s piece Orchestra Games!

(Note, due to the SDSU basketball "Battle on the Midway" game's move from Friday to Sunday, previously announced narrator Dick Enberg will regrettably be unable to join us. He will narrate Thursday's sold out Young People's Concert, however.)
