# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Family Concert: “Carnival of the Animals”
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 22 Feb, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Our winter Family Program continues the theme of collaboration as we welcome the talented young musicians of State High’s Advanced Strings in a side-by-side performance. The program includes two works by Aaron Copland — “An Outdoor Overture” and “Down a Country Lane” — that echo the season’s nature theme and foreshadow our American music celebration later this season. We look forward to showcasing this year's Ann Keller Young Soloist Competition winner, Evan Zhang, followed by Camille Saint-Saëns’ “Carnival of the Animals,” a humorous and poetic exploration of the animal kingdom featuring soloists Amy Gustafson and Erin Chen.
Admission is free! We will be collecting donations of pet supplies and food for Centre County PAWS.
