Michael Djupstrom: The Seahorse and the Crab

With so many instruments and musicians in the Milwaukee Symphony, the orchestra can create an array of different sounds. Whether high or low, fast or slow, loud or quiet, contrasts in music rouse the imagination and pique the listeners' interest. Special guests from Danceworks, Inc. will help the audience visualize and internalize these concepts. To finish, hear how opposites help to tell Djupstrom's The Seahorse and the Crab, an underwater adaptation of The Tortoise and the Hare.
