The Shoe Bird at Morris Performing Arts Center

The South Bend Symphony Orchestra presents a delightful family concert featuring Eudora Welty's The Shoe Bird, a musical adaptation that brings this enchanting tale to life. Narrated alongside the Notre Dame Children’s Choir, the story follows Arturo the parrot as he hilariously misinterprets a boy's claim that "shoes are for the birds." This engaging performance offers a unique opportunity for families to experience a blend of literature and orchestral music while introducing them to the woodwind instruments. Music Director Alastair Willis expresses excitement for sharing this inspiring fable with the community.
