Kids will! enjoy elephant-sized problem at Oregon Sym phony
An elephant has escaped
from the zoo and writer, director
and special guest Dan Kamin
will lead Oregon Symphony
Kids Concert audiences in find
ing him in “The Lost Elephant”
on Sunday, March 9, at 1:00
p.m. and 3:00 p.m. in the Ar
lene Schnitzer Concert Hall.
The show’s creator, comedi
an-writer-director Dan Kamin,
describes it as “a demonstra-
tion of the natural connection
between music and movement.
The show also illustrates the
power of music to summon up
images, ‘to make pictures of
animals in your head.’” Kamin,
a master of mime and physical
comedy, plays a zookeeper
with an elephant-sized prob
lem.
Elmer the elephant has es
caped from the zoo. When

Kamin shows up at the concert,
Conducting Assistant Jonathan
Pasternack and narrator Susan
Chapek strike a bargain with
him: If he will help the audience
visualize the animals in the mu
sic, the orchestra will set a mu
sical trap to lure the missing
pachyderm to the concert hall.
Symphonic music becomes
vivid, visual, and accessible in
this simple yet exciting tale, set
to the music of Handel, Stravin
sky, Rossini and others. De-
