Saint-Saëns & The Carnival of the Animals

Symphonies for Youth

At the LA Phil, we believe in the power of music to spark imaginations and shape young lives. Our Symphonies for Youth concerts invite children and their families to soak up the sounds of a world-class orchestra while experiencing the thrill of live performance.

This program introduces audiences to the genius of Saint-Saëns through music, storytelling, and animation. Hear the composer’s spooky Danse macabre, percussion-driven Danse bacchanale, and the adventurous Carnival of the Animals accompanied by PBS KIDS’ new full-length animation for the suite.
