Anyone who’s been around here a while knows that I am a huge fan of Carnival of the Animals. It’s made its way into the theme of two of my piano camp programs! I was thrilled to discover recently that the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra performed a Carnival of the Animals: Remix that “takes viewers through a journey around the world, visiting all 7 continents and the animals and musical styles of each region. Infusing a variety of multi-dimensional art forms and musical styles – as well as introducing a lineup of new animal characters – brings a modern twist to this enduring classic.”
Additionally, there is a fabulous, free 39-page document with Educational Support Materials for music teachers who want to incorporate Carnival of the Animals: Remix in their classrooms or studios. Lots of great information and ideas that would be perfect for a set of group class themes, or maybe even a practice incentive theme…hmm, may need to ponder that possibility!
