Trail and District Arts Council will welcome a Teck Family Series performance to the Bailey Theatre stage Sunday, April 28, at 3 p.m.
Buzz Brass’s “The Pen of Perilous Pitfalls” is described as a captivating classical music show for kids ages 5-10 and their families to enjoy together.
Discover an original musical story, performed live by Buzz Brass’s five talented musicians, that will carry you away to a multitude of literary and cinematographic worlds through 400 years of history.
A dynamic classical and jazz score tells the story of Alexandra, a young teenage girl who is handed a magic pen that allows her to visit imaginary worlds. As she moves from one adventure to another, Alex comes across all kinds of characters and must decide whom she can truly trust to overcome a threat to the balance among the worlds. Will our heroine see her perseverance rewarded and save everyone?
The story is told by music that carries you from Camelot’s Arthurian legends to Sherlock Holmes’ investigations then transports you to a ship out of “The Pirates of the Caribbean” before you board a spacecraft out of “Star Wars”. But the fun doesn’t end there as the music takes you to a universe of superheroes and video games before you enter the fantastical worlds of “Harry Potter”, “The Lord of the Rings” and James Bond.
Music includes: La fille aux cheveux de lin by C. Debussy; Super Mario Bros. Theme by K. Kondo; Toccata & Fugue in D minor by J. S. Bach; Sabre Dance by A. Khachaturian; It Don’t Mean A Thing by D. Ellington; Theme from Harry Potter, Theme from Jurassic Park and Star Wars Main Theme all by John Williams; plus, lots more/
