Orchestra Miami ha announce the 2023-24 Family Fun Series at Pinecrest Gardens, beginning on Sunday, Nov. 12, with Tough Turkey in the Big City: A Feathered Tale.
The series, which features four different programs on Sunday afternoons at 3 p.m., introduces children to the performing arts through performances that contain live music.
This diverse series features symphonic music, dance, chamber music, Mariachi, opera and more. Each concert lasts approximately one hour, and juice and cookies are served after all the performances.
This year, Orchestra Miami is serving up some turkey for Thanksgiving — Tom Turkey, that is. Tough Turkey in the Big City: A Feathered Tale is a Thanksgiving treat for the whole family with music by Bruce Adolphe and story by Louise Gikow.
What happens when a turkey from the sticks meets a Park Avenue pigeon? With the feel of an old-time radio story, Tough Turkey in the Big City follows the comic blunders of Tom Turkey, who leaves the farm to try his luck in the big city. The story illustrates a close call with a menacing chef, a tussle at the “Turkey Club,” a brief romance with a pigeon, and a happy mix up at the Thanksgiving Day Parade. It’s a big-hearted story of a plucky bird on an unexpected journey.
Tom is portrayed by the bass trombone and his barnyard friends by the violin and clarinet.
The music of the farm is a swinging barnyard counterpoint, while the music of the city recalls the smoky jazz of film noire. There’s also some fun march music at the parade, and hot Latin rhythms at the Turkey Club.
Tough Turkey will be performed by soloists from Orchestra Miami and narrated by Joanna Kaye. The performance is appropriate for all ages and takes place on Sunday, Nov. 12, 3 p.m. at Pinecrest Gardens, 11000 SW 57 Ave. The performance lasts approximately one hour and is appropriate for and guaranteed to delight children of all ages. There is ample on-site free parking.
