“Wild Symphony” by Dan Brown with Narration by Didi Conn

March 23 @ 2:00 pm3:30 pm

Wild Symphony Program Notes

Dear Readers,

Long before I wrote stories . . . I wrote music.
My parents were both musicians and teachers, and I grew up practicing classical piano, singing
in choirs, and attending LOTS of concerts. Music was a secret sanctuary for me as a child. It
calmed me when I felt frustrated, was a trusted friend when I felt lonely, helped me express my
joy when I was happy, and, best of all, sparked my creativity and imagination. Even now, I play
piano every day— usually after I finish a long day of writing.

Music is a kind of storytelling, and the twenty-one orchestral movements in Wild
Symphony—combined with their accompanying poems and illustrations—all work together (like
a code, of sorts!) to tell a story . . . and reveal a funny or interesting side of an animal’s
personality. If you listen carefully, you might be able to find each animal hiding in the music.
Even better, every animal in this book will share with you a simple moral . . . a fun collection of
“secrets to life” that will help you on your way.

I hope you have as much fun experiencing Wild Symphony as I had creating it.
Sincerely,

Dan Brown
