Tuesday and Wednesday schoolkids from all over will flock to Orchestra Hall to experience Mark Fish’s delightful setting of the 1932 children’s classic The Story of Ferdinand. Fish’s “Ferdinand the Bull” features our own Arek Tesarczyk depicting Ferdinand on the cello, Teatro del Pueblo and Stephen Yoakam as narrator. The young people will hear some Mozart, Mendelssohn, Beethoven and Ravel as well!

SOSMN’s friend Kimberly McGuire tells us that this is one of her favorite stories to read to her children. She says: “Ferdinand is a sweet little bull calf that doesn't like to tussle around like the other little bulls. He prefers to sit by himself under his favorite tree and smell flowers. His mother thinks this is odd, but loves him and allows him to be himself. One day men come to find the meanest, nastiest bull to fight the matador. While the other bulls are showing off, Ferdinand is still smelling flowers -- until a bee stings him and he goes wild. The men choose Ferdinand to fight the matador. Of course, ultimately, they find that no matter what they do to get him to fight, he simply refuses. The matador gives up, and they let Ferdinand go back to the pasture to sit under his favorite gum tree and smell flowers. It is such a lovely story about individuality, non-violence, and self-expression.”
The concert will be repeated for families on Saturday afternoon, but it appears to be sold out. If you have tickets that you can’t use, please visit the Orchestra’s “exchanges” page (or call the box office at 612.371.5656) to turn back your tickets or exchange them for a future concert so that others can snap up your unused seats! https://boxoffice.minnesotaorchestra.org/cart/forms/change.aspx
