This <br />Summary musical fairy -tale for flute and piano with narration and props is <br />intended to delight and expose children in Orange County to the art <br />of classical music and storytelling. The performance will weave short <br />pieces of narration with short pieces of music which take the <br />audience on a journey with Luna as she encounters galloping horses, <br />swimming turtles, and other creatures including a fierce dragon. The <br />story comes alive with the addition of props such as hand puppets or <br />marionnetes. We plan to create a version in Spanish for the Latino <br />community as well. The full length program is 1 hour and 25 minutes <br />but can be abridged to a 45 minute version. We have not secured a <br />venue but will use funding from the grant to rent a community space <br />such as the Century Center or the ArtCenter. There is potential to <br />bring this program into other community spaces such as churches, <br />libraries or schools. We will begin rehearsals in September and will be <br />ready to perform in late Fall or early Winter. <br />Community Impact This program uses the art of storytelling and music to illustrate how <br />friendships can help one face and overcome life challenges. The two <br />venues we're proposing as performance space can hold 300 people. <br />If we bring the program to schools, there is potential to reach 500 <br />students or more at each location. The creation and performance of <br />a Spanish language version of the program could potentially reach <br />many residents in Orange County who may not typically feel a <br />connection to concerts or programs offered in the community. <br />
