'The Kookaburra Who Stole The Moon'

Story By Peter Winkler and Susan Kersey
Music By Peter Winkler

An Australian orchestral narrative
for children and families

Picture
The narrative tells the story of a greedy Kookaburra who falls in love with the moon and steals it from the night sky. The other animals, Frog, Snake, Emu, Wombat and Kangaroo try to make the Kookaburra laugh in order to make him release his grip and allow the moon to escape and return to the sky. It is in the style of a dreamtime myth.

The CD and Audio Book mp3 include an introduction to the instruments of the orchestra, the story and follow up activities for children. In no time the children are acting out the story and doing the animal dances.

Kookaburra has been performed throughout Australia with every state orchestra including the Sydney Opera House Orchestra and The Queensland Symphony Orchestra, in Seoul (Korean language version) with the Seoul Opera House Orchestra, In England at London Festival Hall, In New Caledonia (in French) and in numerous other seasons across Australia and internationally. It was been very well received at every performance and received a standing ovation at London Festival Hall.
