On Saturday, April 25 at 4:00 pm,, pianist-composer Michael Stephen Brown returns to Music@Menlo with an all-star ensemble. The program opens with his new work, The Carnival of Endangered Wonders, bringing 13 rare animals to life through colorful, imaginative music.
The second half features Camille Saint-Saëns’s beloved Carnival of the Animals, where each movement playfully “paints” a different creature — perfect for young listeners and families alike.
