“Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!”

Have you met the Jabberwocky? What about his posse of deliriously spine-tingling creaturefriends: the Borogove, the Bandersnatch, the Jubjub bird and the Tove?

Don’t miss the premiere of Jabberwocky, a zany new work by Rob Kapilow, commissioned by Music in the Morning and New York’s Lincoln Center. Fun for the whole family, this event combines text from Lewis Carroll’s classic poem with a full chorus, the Vancouver Family Musik Orchestra and New York’s PickleShoes Dance Co.

With his poem Jabberwocky, Lewis Carroll coined the portmanteau—a word formed by merging the sounds and meanings of two different words. Boost your vocabulary while you chortle along with this delightful afternoon; guaranteed to be a frabjous event for kids and adults alike! (Chortle: combination of chuckle and snort; Frabjous: combination of fair, fabulous and joyous.)
