In this hour-long program, the Palm Beach Symphony performs EUDORA'S FABLE: THE SHOE BIRD. With a 2008 Grammy Award nomination for Best Musical Album for Children, this work is a musical fable written for a children's choir, narrative actor, and orchestra. The composition is based on The Shoe Bird, the only children's book ever written by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Eudora Welty. While describing the many birds of the story, the music introduces and expands the audience's knowledge of the orchestra instruments by featuring the auxiliary sounds of the woodwind section.
