Etobicoke Centre MP Yvan Baker used his musical skills to narrate Peter and the Wolf children musical at an engaging Halloween concert by the Etobicoke Community Concert Band.
The 70-year-old story and piece of music were created to help young people develop an interest in music. Each character is represented by an instrument.
Conductor John Edward Liddle did an amazing job leading the band through a rehearsal.
