Little Orchestra Society Presents: Stravinsky’s Firebird<\/em><\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Midtown West<\/strong>
\nLittle Orchestra Society<\/a>‘s interactive concerts are a great way to introduce kids to famous classical works. This weekend, enjoy Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird<\/em>, a rousing version of an old Russian folk tale about Prince Ivan and a magical bird. My son and I saw this production last year and he loved its parade of Bunraku-style puppets, dancing, and projections of lights and shadows that helped bring the story to life. $17-$60<\/p>\n
