Amur Tigers | Musical Menagerie

After visiting the Amur Tiger exhibit at the Minnesota Zoo, and getting an up-close view of one of nature's greatest predators, Sarah Hicks joins the Minnesota Orchestra to perform music inspired by the incredible speed and pouncing ability of tigers, "Fire Dance," by composer Anthony DiLorenzo. Activity #7 of the Concert Guide investigates how a piece of music so challenging can evoke the playful, menacing, and wild nature of tigers.
