The program will consist of two works. The first of these is "Mother Goose," a set of five pieces for two pianists composed by Maurice Ravel. The pieces are based on traditional French children's stories: "Sleeping Beauty," "Tom Thumb," "The Empress of the Pagodas," and "Beauty and the Beast." Maurice Ravel wrote "Mother Goose" for the children of one of his closest friends. It has been heard in virtually every country in the world and is considered one of the classic musical creations for children.

"The Story of Babar the Little Elephant" is the first in a beloved series of children's books written by Jean de Brunhoff and his son Laurent. It describes Babar's childhood and his selection to be king of the elephants. The composer Francis Poulenc first read the story at the insistence of his nieces and nephews. Delighted with Babar, he improvised charming and witty piano music to accompany the story. This music so pleased his young relatives that he decided to publish it. Now it is also one of the classic musical compositions for children.

The performers will include Steve Hulslander (narrator of Babar) a graduate of Lycoming College, class of 1974, and a teacher at the West Branch School; Yvonne Lundquist, a 1991 graduate of Lycoming College, where she has taught piano since 1991; and Gary Boerckel, Chair of the Music Department at Lycoming College.
