Chamber Concert: Rudyard Kipling’s “Just So Stories” | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Trinity Alps Chamber Players present the world-premiere of a new commission from composer Danny Clay, “Just So Stories,” based on the stories of Rudyard Kipling, at a free public concert on Sunday, September 7, 2014 in San Francisco as part of a special “Grandparents’ Day” celebration.

Clay’s rendition of “Just So Stories” will consist of three fantastical tales from Kipling’s colorful origin stories – the Camel’s Hump, the Whale’s Throat, and the Elephant’s Child – told through narration and music. In addition to playing traditional instruments such as violin, cello, clarinet, flute, piano and guitar, the musicians will be making extraordinary sounds using ordinary, but unexpected everyday objects, such as wine glasses, slide whistles and thunder tubes.

Following the concert will be a special “instrument petting zoo” reception, where the audience will have a chance to mingle with performers and kids will have opportunities to try out various classical instruments.
