A series of “firsts” provides a special treat for the young and the young at heart during the San Bernardino Symphony’s annual family concert. Accompanied by his brother, film producer Edoardo Ponti as narrator and mentor Nancy Woods, Maestro Carlo Ponti, Jr. demonstrates his considerable talents with both the baton and the piano in conducting and performing Saint-Saens’ hilarious Carnival Of The Animals.
