An unforgettable musical adventure through the forest awaits!

Inventi Ensemble returns to Melbourne Recital Centre during the July school holidays to introduce children of all ages to the magic of music with Prokofiev’s century-old tale Peter and the Wolf arranged by Inventi Ensemble for five instruments.

Through the story of young Peter, his grandfather, and their animal kingdom friends the bird, duck, and cat, audiences will explore this classic tale and develop a new appreciation for the music and sounds made by instruments often found in a symphony orchestra. With Peter represented by the strings, the bird by the flute, the duck by an oboe, and the cat by the clarinet, this timeless tale of a young boy and his animal friends’ bravery is the perfect way to spend a cold, wintery school holiday morning.

Join Inventi Ensemble to create your masks inspired by the tale of Peter and the Wolf. Become the nimble cat, the scary wolf, the singing songbird, or even invent your own character!
