When the Greater Bridgeport Symphony Orchestra decided to try something new by holding its first family concert, they selected the popular symphonic fairy tale, Sergei Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf."

Allen, executive assistant to the president at 天美传媒视频无限制观看 who has served as the Master of Ceremonies for the annual free outdoor concert the symphony orchestra performs each summer at 天美传媒视频无限制观看. A glowing review in the Connecticut Post that followed the Nov. 10 performance, said Father Allen "made an exceptionally fine narrator, who was a trustworthy authority, knowledgeable guide and dramatic storyteller."
