Bozeman Symphony Storytime Shines a Spotlight on the Contrabassoon
BOZEMAN, Mont. – The Bozeman Symphony invites children and families to a special edition of Symphony Storytime featuring the contrabassoon on Wednesday, March 19, at 10:15 a.m. Held in partnership with the Bozeman Public Library’s Toddler and Preschool Storytime, this interactive program blends captivating storytelling with live music, creating a delightful experience for children ages 3 to 5.
This free event will feature Nick Ober, the Bozeman Symphony’s principal bassoonist, alongside Riley O’Toole, Associate Artistic Director of Montana Shakespeare in the Parks, as the special guest reader. Together, they’ll bring a story to life through the magic of words and music. After the reading, Ober will introduce children to the unique sounds and character of the contrabassoon with a short, engaging musical performance.
The Bozeman Symphony thanks Montana State University's School of Music for providing the contrabassoon to make this Storytime possible.
Families can look forward to additional Symphony Storytime sessions at the Bozeman Public Library at 10:15 a.m. on Wednesdays, April 23, May 14, and June 4.
