Harpo Speaks! - The Riverside Symphony Concert featuring Peter and the Wolf (2026)
Description from amazon: "Marx, alongside the Riverside Symphony, takes the cheering audience through the delightfully lighthearted 'Toy Symphony' and carries them into the softly romantic 'Moon Medley,' (a medley of 'Fly Me to the Moon' and 'How High the Moon,' arranged by his son Bill, alongside his own composition, 'Moon Tune') and a rare instrumental performance of his composition 'Guardian Angels.' And then the concert's true highlight: the near 22-minute long riveting narration of Peter and the Wolf. For the first time, Harpo reveals his voice: deep, yet soft-spoken, refined, yet still retaining the slightest hint of his New York City origin."
