A sly retelling of Prokofiev’s beloved children’s classic. Brave young Peter deals with a wily wolf determined to gobble up some ducks. The score, inspired by Prokofiev’s original, has been orchestrated for a distinctly folk sound, performed by the Friday -Seezer Ensemble, narrated by Fergus O’Farrell and illustrated by U2’s Bono and his children. All proceeds to benefit the Irish Hospice Foundation.
