On Sunday, April 3, the Fraser Valley Symphony is hosting Family Fun, a spring concert with popular music from many generations.
Among the pieces will be movie themes from Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean along with the William Tell Overture from the Lone Ranger.
The ever-popular Peter and the Wolf by Prokoviev will also be featured. In this musical tale, the various instruments help tell the story of when young Peter and his animal friends encounter a dangerous wolf in the meadow.

He has been associated with numerous musical groups in British Columbia since moving to Canada in 1966.
