/ Leia Barrett s classical music take on a classic children s story is delighting audiences.
Music tells a story. When performing for young listeners, though, it can be difficult to blend storytelling and classical music in an engaging, age-appropriate way.
To fill that need, Leia Barrett, a graduate of the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory, has tapped her experience as the director of education with the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra to develop a series of musical children’s books one of which is currently available to view on demand as part of the “Eat, Drink, Play!” series produced at Johnson County Community College.
