<p class="MsoNormal">Event: Symphony Tales for Children</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Woods Hole Public Library</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Woods Hole Public Library will be hosting<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>“Symphony Tales” at a re-scheduled date.
This child-sized presentation by the New Bedford Symphony was originally
scheduled for Hurricane Sandy’s day; this will be an improved time slot: eleven
o’clock on Tuesday morning,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>December 11.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It is hoped
that many pre-schoolers will be able to attend to hear a story in words and in the
notes of a cello.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p>“Symphony Tales” is making the rounds of the local libraries thanks to the Falmouth
group, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Mastersingers by the Sea</i>. The
Symphony’s cellist Shay Rudolph, conductor/composer David MacKenzie, and author
Kimberly Marcus will appear at the Woods Hole Public Library for a performance
of <em><b>Scritch Scratch a Perfect Match</b></em>. As this story about a dog
who finds a friend to help rid him of a pesky flea is read, the cello speaks
the text using musical notes and rhythms.</p>
<p>Following the performance, the performers involve the children in two
interactive, rhythmic speaking and movement activities that draw their
attention to the prosodic elements of two key text phrases from the book. At
the end of the program, the children may try playing a cello that is sized just
for them. <br></p><p><br></p>
<p>Thanks to grants received by Mastersingers, the event is offered free to the
public. For more information, see the websites <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:
