Babar & The Piano

A small elephant finds a buried grand piano in the forest and asks, “Who am I? And who are you?” Poulenc’s score for solo piano, life-size puppets, and a new story set in South Africa’s Knysna forest. Plus the world premiere of Kathleen Tagg’s An African Carnival for piano and orchestra, in the vein of Saint-Saëns and Prokofiev.
