We went on another musical adventure to Roy Thomson Hall to attend the Toronto Symphony Orchestra’s concert, “The Composer Is Dead”, a hilarious whodunit with music by Nathaniel Stookey and text by Lemony Snicket. In this story told through music, students joined a police inspector as he investigated the “murder” of a composer in which each instrument in the orchestra was a suspect and “interrogated” for this “crime”!
