Herbert CHAPPELL Paddington Bear’s First Concert

COPLAND The Red Pony Suite: Happy Ending
Ben Palmer, conductor
Eric Monson, English narration
Bring along your teddy bears to join Paddington™ as he goes to his first symphony concert. Michael Bond’s charming stories about a bear with a taste for marmalade sandwiches has gone from story book to cartoon to the big screen, but in this charming musical tale, with a hugely attractive score by Herbert Chappell, the whole family can join in Paddington’s adventures. Poulenc’s delightful ballet score brings a whole host of animals – from ants and grasshoppers to lions and bears – to vivid musical life.
