Dive into the adventures of Tom Turkey, a charming character who leaves his farm life behind to explore the bustling city. This engaging story, with music by Bruce Adolphe and a narrative by Louise Gikow, is brought to life through the talents of Orchestra Miami's soloists and the narration of Joanna Kaye. Experience the contrast between the serene farm life and the vibrant city through a musical journey that includes swinging barnyard counterpoints, smoky jazz reminiscent of film noir, lively march music, and hot Latin rhythms.

"Tough Turkey in the Big City" is an entertaining tale of Tom Turkey's escapades in the city, featuring a close encounter with a chef, a scuffle at the Turkey Club, a fleeting romance with a pigeon, and a humorous mix-up at the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Portrayed by the bass trombone, with his barnyard friends represented by the violin and clarinet, Tom's story is a heartwarming narrative of resilience and adventure.

This performance is suitable for audiences of all ages and lasts approximately 1 hour. To make the experience even more enjoyable, complimentary cookies and juice will be served after the show.
