GUELPH, ON March 12, 2020 – Well-known characters from Sherwood Forest will come to life when members of the Guelph Symphony Orchestra perform The Adventures of Robin Hood and Ms. Marian at River Run Centre on Saturday, March 28, at 9:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. The kid-friendly performances are presented in Co-operators Hall as part of the Wooly Kinderconcerts series.

Wooly Kinderconcerts introduce children aged five and under to the rich variety of instruments and sounds of the symphony. Members of the Guelph Symphony Orchestra play samplings of works by great composers, which provide the soundtrack to fun, interactive stories. Kinderconcerts are hands-on experiences kids learn from and remember, with audience participation highly encouraged!

The Adventures of Robin Hood and Ms. Marian takes audience members deep into Sherwood Forest, where Robin Hood and his friends steal from the rich and give to the poor, much to the chagrin of the greedy Sheriff of Nottingham. In a stunning move, the sheriff and his allies kidnap Ms. Marian and hold her prisoner at Nottingham Castle. In a desperate move, Robin Hood leads a mission to rescue his love and bring justice back to England.

Featuring music by German composer Richard Wagner, including the famous Ride of the Valkyries, The Adventures of Robin Hood and Ms. Marian includes trumpet, horn, trombone, tuba and piano. Joe Ringhofer narrates the story.
