Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra’s annual tradition of performing a kids’ concert as a way of encouraging future generations of music lovers will move online this weekend with help from storyteller Bobby Norfolk’s instrument of choice his voice.
While the original plan for the children’s concert was for the St. Louis-based Norfolk to narrate Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf,” a popular musical tale that showcases individual instruments by linking them to the story’s characters, it didn’t take long into the pandemic for the symphony to realize a live performance probably wasn’t going to work.

The Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra is hosting a concert Saturday, February 20
th, at 3:00 pm. Music director and conductor, Garrett Allman had hoped to host their annual youth concert in person but a virtual one worked out better, due to Covid restrictions.
This is a family concert geared towards the youth of the community, featuring kid-friendly and fun music. Allman speaks of featured soloist, storyteller, and actor, Bobby Norfolk who has made other appearances with the Symphony.
“He sent a video of him doing a wonderful original piece of his called Anansi and the Dancing Granny. It is based on a story from Ghana, West Africa when he visited there in the summer of 1993. The climax of the concert is the last piece. The rest of the concert is members of the orchestra in solos, duets, and trios doing music that is appropriate for a youth concert which I’m sure parents will enjoy too.”
