OCMF 2025: Innocence

Four kinds of innocence: Ravel's gorgeous and moving celebration of childhood innocence, written for children to play, and based on tales such as Tom Thumb or Beauty and the Beast; Vivaldi's ever-fresh sounds of Nature reborn; a mock-innocent musical joke for a friend of our composer-in-residence, Thomas Adès; and one of the funniest pieces ever written, including a slow can-can danced by tortoises, a waltzing elephant, various donkeys (some as fast as racehorses), bounding kangaroos and dancing skeletons in Saint-Saëns' famous carnival. Fun for children of all ages!
