Tales and Scales presents Just Beyond the Junkyard, a story about Renny Hall, a little girl with a big imagination that seems to always be getting her into trouble. Sheís nine years old and home is an apartment building near an inner-city junkyard where all it takes is a little resourcefulness and a vivid imagination to enter a kingdom of magical transformations. When events conspire to threaten both the junkyard and her home, Renny brings all her creative resources and ingenuity to bear as she learns how to pair her imagination with responsibility to help those around her. ìTales& Scales has, without a doubt, one of the most imaginative, musically creative, and professionally executed approaches to music education that I have ever encountered. The four enthusiastic young musicians in the group combine considerable individual talent with engaging stage presence to produce a show which is compelling, interesting for audience members of all ages, and unique in its approach. Simply put, this is great music education!î -Keith Lockhart, Conductor, Boston Pops Back to Calendar |
