Calling all DC Metro Looney Toons Fans!The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor George Daugherty, is going “loony” on July 11, 2009, at 8:30 pm, with “Bugs Bunny on Broadway” at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia.
What a cool way of introducing your children to some incredible classical music and the complete awesomeness of a concert at Merriweather–sitting under the stars, listening to the BSO, and watching ‘toons on the big screen?
If you ask me, it’s summertime bliss.
I have a family 4-pack of lawn tickets for one of my cool local pals. If you want it, (it’s an $80 value) leave a comment below and let me know why you family needs to go. You must comment by midnight Eastern time by Friday, July 3 in order to be entered.
From the press release:
This unique concert will feature musical masterpieces of Wagner, Rossini, Strauss, Tchaikovsky, and others, as interpreted through the โhare-raisingโ cartoon scores of legendary Warner Bros. Studios composers Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn, in such iconic Looney Tunes as โWhat’s Opera, Doc?,โ โThe Rabbit of Seville,โ โCorny Concerto,โ โBaton Bunny,โ โLong-Haired Hare,โ โHigh Note,โ and many more.
Good luck!
My kids need to learn about Bugs Bunny… I don't think they've ever seen a Bugs Bunny cartoon. What a shame.
My husband and his sisters loved Looney Tunes growing up. I didn't watch it as much, so I don't get their jokes the way I should. My two boys would love this, and it would be a great way to introduce them to Looney tunes and some great music.
Plus, it's my birthday on Wednesday.
My toddler doesn't watch much t.v. yet, but loves music, so I think he'd really enjoy this! Dh and I are also Looney Tunes fans – we had a Pepe LePew/Penelope cake topper on our wedding cake! ๐
My family needs to go…With a seven year age difference between my sons, it's often a chore finding family friendly events that each of us can appreciate. This is Familytime Bliss made easy. Intellectually stimulating yet pure entertainment. Anyone with school-agers must agree, it's quite possible for their minds to turn into mush over summer vacation. We must keep them engaged.
