• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

  Inspired by the Brothers Grimm’s tale  “The Town Musicians of Bremen  ,” the story of “Os Saltimbancos” revolves around four animals who decide to escape their owners’ mistreatment to form a musical group. The quartet will be performed by young singers  Daniel Schilling ,  Maitê Ely ,  João Boff  , and  Pablo Pinho . Alongside them, a 70-voice children’s choir from the  Children’s and Youth Choirs of the OSPA School  and the  Anchieta Musical Show  also brings the work to life, under the stage direction of  Carol Braga  and accompanying the OSPA, conducted by  Manfredo Schmiedt .  The choral arrangement is by Renato Filippini, adapted by Cristiane Ferronato, and the orchestral arrangement is by Geremias Freitas.

  The performance also brings to southern Brazil for the first time a classical symphonic work designed for children:  Tubby the Tuba , by  George Kleinsinger , starring a tuba player who dreams of playing melodies. The solos are performed by OSPA tuba player  Wilthon Matos , while the narration is provided by  Simone Rasslan
