The Carnival of the Animals CD Rom and DVD pack is available from Lancashire Music Service and Cumbria Learning Support (Music)
Camille Saint-Saëns’ expert knowledge of animal behaviour is reflected in his Carnival of the Animals, a suite of musical sketches celebrating Mardi Gras.
Saint Saëns’ engaging carnival is interpreted through the eyes of orchestral musicians, wildlife experts, a Bharat Natyam dancer, West African musicians and a performance poet. Each offers creative activities and challenges, connecting with exciting programmes of workshops and concerts
