CARNIVAL OF THE NEARLY EXTINCT ANIMALS

Music. Dance. Puppetry. Conservation.

This theatrical, 80-minute concert experience features Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saens arranged by Mike Atkinson, and Carnival of the Nearly Extinct Animals by NYC-based composer Stephanie Ann Boyd. Moses Goods weaves poetry and storytelling throughout the performance, and artwork by local keiki is on display before the show.
