What's On

The Trumpet of the Swan
 

From the author of Charlotte’s Web and Stuart Little comes a magical live concert experience with Orchestra Victoria.

Meet Louis, a young swan born without a voice. With the help of a boy named Sam and a stolen brass trumpet, Louis sets out to prove that even the quietest among us can make the loudest impact.

The Trumpet of the Swan is the perfect opportunity to introduce young people to the joys of orchestral music and storytelling – but its rich, symphonic score will appeal to everyone.

It brings E.B. White’s (Charlotte’s WebStuart Little) classic novel to the stage with lively narration performed by a group of actors alongside a cinematic, lyrical score played live by Orchestra Victoria.

Adapted for the stage by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Marsha Norman and Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown, this charming testament to the power of music was a hit at its Kennedy Center premiere, with the Washington Post declaring “this lushly scored work will send you home with a helpless, contented smile on your face.”
