Halcyon String Quartet:
Make Way for Ducklings
Join Halcyon for their third annual family performance! This year's lively musical rendition of Robert McCloskey’s beloved Make Way for Ducklings brings the adventures of Mr. and Mrs. Mallard (and Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Oack, Pack, and Quack!) to life. In collaboration with actor Ben Meader, Halcyon combines music, story, and illustration for an hour of joy, humor, storytelling, and beautiful music. Designed for children of all ages, musical selections include classical favorites, folk tunes, and nostalgic songs from childhood. Halcyon is a Midcoast Maine-based artist collective and string quartet that designs and presents multimedia performances that combine live music with science, film, art, and spoken word.
