Marvel at some of the world’s most incredible animals as Jungle Island hosts MISO in an unforgettable performance inside the covered Parrot Bowl amphitheater on Saturday at noon. Any performance of a two-piano concerto is surely a treat, especially when it is one of Saint-Saëns most popular works – Carnival of the Animals, a brilliant and fun piece full of witty musical references that kids and families of all ages will enjoy. Also performing Saturday night at the University of Miami’s Gusman Concert Hall, Haydn’s fun-loving “Toy” Symphony features select children to perform alongside MISO.
