The Lakewood Symphony gave a wonderful concert on Saturday, January 22 geared towards children. The orchestra played "Entrance of the Gladiators" by Fucik and "Ansel and the Great Tree" by Matthew Switzer. Ansel and the Great Tree is a wonderful children's story written by Matthew's mother, Rose.
"Ansel and The Great Tree" is the story of a small boy, a tiny village and a huge tree - and how one person, no matter how small, can make a difference.
The concert presented the books pictures on an overhead screen with narration; while the music played on stage. It was a really enjoyable concert for every age!
If anyone is interested in the book, please check it out at anselandthegreattree.com
I HIGHLY recommend it!
