Cascade Symphony Orchestra’s annual children’s concert will take place on Saturday, Feb. 20 at 3 p.m. at the Edmonds Center for the Arts (410 4th Ave. N.).

The concert will begin with a rousing performance by the Cascade Percussion Ensemble. It will continue with Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, narrated by audience favorite Dave Dolacky. Peter and the Wolf has introduced orchestral music to generations of children since it was written in 1936. Its endearing characters include the bird (flute), duck (oboe), Grandfather (bassoon), Peter (strings) and Wolf (French horns).

The program will then showcase two Rising Stars: 12-year old soloist Claire Kim playing the first movement from Haydn’s Piano Concerto in D Major, and 15-year-old Phoebe Rawn performing the third movement of the Reinecke Flute Concerto in D Major.

Preceding the concert, the orchestra invites families to come at 2 p.m. to participate in the KING FM instrument petting zoo, where children will have the opportunity to try various musical instruments.

The children’s concert is designed for ages 3-10, but all ages are welcome.

Claire Kim started piano lessons at age 5 and is also an accomplished violinist with the Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra. She has won multiple state-level competitions. She is a seventh-grader at Gateway Middle School and is a student of Allan Park.

Phoebe Rawn, 15, first started playing flute in her elementary school music program. She began lessons with Alicia Suarez, and currently studies with Zart Dombourian-Eby of the Seattle Symphony. Last year, Phoebe received two Seals of Outstanding Achievement at the Seattle Young Artists Music Festival, and was chosen as a finalist in the festival’s Concerto Competition. Phoebe is in ninth grade at Garfield High School.

Concert tickets are $2 for kids under 12, $5 for students and $10 for adults, and available through the Edmonds Center for the Arts.

The season will continue with Dvorak Cello Concerto on March 14 and Organ Symphony on May 9. In addition, CSO’s Ensemble Concert will take place on the afternoon of April 17 at the Edmonds United Methodist Church.
