Frenchman Camille Saint-Saens composed "The Carnival of the Animals" in 1886, and it has been a long-cherished work for children and families ever since. The Palm Beach Symphony's unique adaptation, THE CARNIVAL OF MORE ANIMALS, incorporates over a dozen animals native to Florida. The hour-long program combines Saint-Saens' composition with lively narration by wildlife biologist Forrest Galante, who guides viewers on an engaging, fact-based educational journey accompanied by projected onscreen visuals of these animals. Originally composed for a chamber orchestra, this new arrangement includes an expansive array of instruments, providing students with a unique opportunity to see the full breadth of instruments in a symphony orchestra while learning about Florida's diverse wildlife.
