The Philharmonic Gets Dressed (Reading Rainbow Book)

by Karla Kuskin

The Philharmonic Gets Dressed (Reading Rainbow Book) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"It is almost Friday night. Outside, the dark is getting darker," and here and there around the city ninety-two men and thirteen women are getting dressed to go to work. First they bathe and put on their underwear. Then they don special black-and-white apparel. Then when the one hundred and five people are completely ready, each takes a musical instrument and travels to midtown. There, at 8: 30 tonight, they will work together: playing.

In these pages Karla Kuskin and Marc Simont combine their talents to give us a delightful and unusual inside view of one way an orchestra prepares.
