Bugs Bunny at the SymphonyColorado Symphony
Boettcher Concert Hall

When the average person thinks of going to the symphony, I'm sure they picture a stiff and formal occasion playing music that would put your average person to sleep. They certainly don't think of a fun place for kids. However, a show like Bugs Bunny at the Symphony, is tailor made to introduce kids to classical music.
Three big screens were set up throughout the concert hall to show Warner Brothers cartoons while the Colorado Orchestra played the soundtrack live. I found it entertaining that the percussionists played the sound effects as well.
Each piece had an introduction by the conductor, spotlighting the instruments featured in certain cartoons. The experience gave me a new appreciation for the soundtracks written for these classic cartoons and the creative team that made them. I will never look either the same way again!
