Jack Prelutsky, the first Children's Poet Laureate of the United States, recites poems from his popular book, Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant, live with the TSO! It's a hilarious mashup of animals and everyday objects that will keep you in stitches from start to finish. Also featured is The Carnival of the Animals by Saint-Saëns, played in tandem with Jack's delightfully clever new verses.

Come to the concert half an hour early for a special pre-concert performance in the lobby!

Jack Prelutsky and Lucas Richman will be signing books & CDs in the North Lobby after the 3:30pm performance
