Don’t miss Frankenstein
FRANKESTEIN will come to life at the Lighthouse Studio in a new composition by special guest conductor and composer Stefan Cassomenos.
The Warrnambool Symphony Orchestra (WSO) will present a recreation of this timeless story as the centrepiece of its annual children’s concert this Sunday, November 24.
WSO president John MacInnes said the orchestra was thrilled to work with Stefan Cassomenos, who also composed and conducted last year’s Rumpelstiltskin concert.
“Stefan is not only a widely acclaimed concert pianist, he is also a composer and he and violinist Monica Curro are the artistic co-directors of the Port Fairy Spring Music Festival,” Mr MacInnes said.
“We are especially delighted that Stefan has composed the music for Frankenstein so this is a world premiere.”
Talented MC Deon Cameron will narrate the tale of Frankenstein.
The audience will be baffled by the amazing Dr Nick the Magician and the orchestra will play some familiar music including How to Train your Dragon, Belle (from Beauty and the Beast) and a highlight will be “I’m Walking in the Air,” to be sung by 11 year-old Owen Davies.
There will be two performances in the Lighthouse Studio this Sunday - the first at 11.30am and a repeat at 2.30pm.
Tickets at available from the Lighthouse Theatre or by phoning 5559 4999.
“This is a concert for children of all ages,” Mr MacInnes said.
“It’s a great way to celebrate the coming festive season.”
