Special Events

carnival of the animals & a trip to the moon

This double-feature film and musical event will showcase classical composer Saint-Saëns’ short, humorous musical suite, Carnival of the Animals, and French magician and early filmmaker Georges Méliès’ 1902 silent film, A Trip to the Moon, with a live musical performance by an ensemble of two pianos, marimba, violin, viola, cello, double bass, flute, and clarinet. All ages are encouraged to come to experience and be inspired by these classic gems in a fresh splash of sound and color—enhanced with curated projections and a new original score for A Trip to the Moon by Twin-Cities based composer and Minnesota State Arts Board recipient Christa Rübsam!
