Lilypad Puppet Theatre at Orozco Gallery - 115 S Cayuga St

LILPAD PUPPET THEATRE: ALFONSO'S MINIATURE ORCHESTRA
🗓️ Sunday, May 18th | ⏰ 5–6 PM | 📍 115 S Cayuga St, Ithaca, NY

Join us for a magical puppet show perfect for children and families! Alfonso’s Miniature Orchestra tells the heartwarming story of Alfonso, a young boy living with his grandmother in Southern Spain who isn’t allowed to study music—until he meets Rosita, a guitar master who reveals the instrument's secrets.

This performance introduces classical music to kids through enchanting hand puppets and shadow puppetry, featuring music from Spanish masters like Grenados, Albeniz, and Tárrega. The show is complemented by live music from classically trained guitarist Matthew Ocone, making it a truly unique experience for all.

🎶 Great intro to classical music for kids
🎭 Hand puppets & shadow puppetry bring the story to life

Non-alcoholic drinks, cash bar, all ages welcome!

Made possible by Yen Ospina & her nomadic Orozco Gallery, Latino Civic Association, and the Cornell Rural Humanities grant, Einhorn Center for Community Engagement
