This year marks the 10th anniversary of this local production of The Nutcracker. A beautiful Sugarplum Fairy, a delightful Clara, precocious Fritz and a flurry of snowflakes will take the stage once again in Windsor Ontario. After three sold out shows last year, the company is excited to announce the addition of a fourth performance. This ballet will be performed by 150 elegantly costumed dancers to the much-loved score by Tchaikovsky and will take place December 6,7, and 8 th at the historical Capitol Theatre.

The Nutcracker will open Friday December 6 at 7pm and continue through Sunday, December 8 at 2pm. The production is presented by Edmunds Towers School of Dance under the Artistic Direction of Ms. Kristyn Wiklanski. This production has become an annual holiday tradition for Windsor–Essex. You won’t want to miss this production.

“We are delighted that we will be performing this holiday classic for residents of Windsor –Essex. As we celebrate our 10th anniversary of our production, we have a few exciting new additions to this ballet. Over the 10 years, we have seen ticket sales grow each year and we are excited to be adding a fourth performance. We are overwhelmed by the success of this production and we are so happy to be presenting again this holiday season,” says Dianne Edmunds, Edmunds Towers School of Dance. “From the costumes, to the sets, to the number of cast members, to the brilliant score, this production will entertain all ages. It truly is a holiday tradition in Windsor-Essex”

The Windsor Symphony Orchestra String Quartet presents the first Concerts for Kids entitled The Busy Beaver on October 12th

The WSO places great value on creating innovative programs that are fun and encourage high level active listening skills at all ages.  The WSO Concerts for Kids Series is designed specifically for concertgoers between ages 4-8. This interactive concert series is conducted and curated by Assistant Conductor Daniel Wiley and Co-hosted by WSO friend Jan Radford. These short 40-minute concerts are the perfect way for families to explore music in an informal and fun environment.  Discover the various string instruments in the WSO as we follow Nicholas Oldland's book The Busy Beaver — a story of the busy but careless beaver who gnaws his way through the forest.

Before each concert, Music for Young Children leads craft tables in the Capitol Theatre lobby where every child can create their own instrument from common household materials, such as paper plate tambourines, wax paper kazoos, tissue box guitars, or egg shaker maracas. These crafts are often incorporated into the concert so that children can participate as active performers as well as listeners. 

All the Concerts for Kids are designed to provide a safe and comfortable place for exploring new sounds and instruments, moving to different kinds of music, singing of familiar songs, and develop high-level active listening skills.  High-level active listening skills are key for students to become great readers and learners – learning how to listen to music, how to tell the difference between instrument sounds, and how pitch is used to communicate in language and music. 

Tickets are only $5 per person and can be purchased online at www.windsorsymphony.com or at the door.
