The Tortoise and the Hare & Other Tales
Symphony in C and Music Director Rossen Milanov are proud to announce the release of Symphony in C’s first commercial recording The Tortoise and the Hare & Other Tales on Bridge Records.
The recording is a collection children’s works written by the Symphony’s Composer-in-Residence, Daniel Dorff. The recording took place at the Walter Gordon Theater at Rutgers University-Camden. This recording is the first professional orchestral recording in Camden, NJ since the golden age of recordings under the RCA label.
This children’s recording features six uplifting children's tales, narrated by popular Philadelphia television personality Ukee Washington and Broadway star Ann Crumb. Daniel Dorff has created engaging and humorous musical settings of four traditional tales, plus a new story about space travel, and a contemporary introduction to the instruments of the orchestra – ideal for introducing young listeners to the charms and delights of classical music. Dorff's children's compositions have been widely performed—having been commissioned four times by The Philadelphia Orchestra, twice by The Minnesota Orchestra's Kinder Konzert series and by Symphony in C.
This exciting recording offers children a wonderful, entertaining introduction to a symphony orchestra and makes a perfect gift!
To Order Call Symphony in C at 856.963.6683. Orders will be promptly mailed.
