Celebrate Music and Animals

Musical Menagerie will invite viewers to connect music with animals in a live concert from the Minnesota Orchestra that presents a variety of composers and styles of music, as well as unique film elements and guests from the Zoo. Host and conductor Sarah Hicks, along with animal conservationists from the Zoo, will introduce viewers to brown bears, gibbons, tropical fish and more. Available via broadcast, livestream and on-demand, and presented in partnership with Twin Cities PBS (TPT).
