Symphonic Safari 2012

The jungle was alive with kids and music as Portland Columbia Symphony Orchestra sent the audience on a safari through the arts on Saturday, September 24. Held on the Center for the Arts Plaza in downtown Gresham, SYMPHONIC SAFARI featured interactive arts booths and a live performance of Peter & The Wolf and more.

And the highlight of the day was the safari through the orchestra as it played!

This jungle man enjoyed face painting and balloon twisting.

The ZAP team from the Oregon Zoo brought along some real live ANIMALS. Cool . . .

These twins are right in style showing how it gets done on the xylophone!

These young artists made little tiny animal sculptures from clay.

Some of the martial arts experts in the crowd tried their hand at twisting dog balloons as well.
