HENLEY Symphony Orchestra’s two Christmas concerts will feature Caversham actor Jeremy Drakes as the narrator for Sergei Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf.
Jeremy says: “It’s probably one of my earliest childhood memories, listening to Peter and the Wolf.
“Part of the charm of it is that each character, each animal in the story has its own distinctive musical signature, its own instrument.
“I am absolutely delighted to be doing this, it’s a lovely thing to be doing at this time of year.”
The concerts take place at Christ Church in Reading Road, Henley, on Saturday, December 6, the first from 2.30pm to 3.15pm (tickets cost £5 adults, £3 children, free for under-twos).
The later concert is from 5pm to 6.30pm (tickets cost £15 unreserved, £7 under-16s/students and £3 under-10s) and in addition to Peter and the Wolf will include Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite and Leroy Anderson’s Sleigh Ride.
