Thumbelina

Evan Premo's Thumbelina

“[Thumbelina is] a joy of musical storytelling...a viable partner with Prokofiev’s 'Peter and the Wolf.’"
— Jim Lowe

Marshfield, Vermont-based composer / double bassist Evan Premo and Scrag Mountain Music are pleased to release the audio version Premo’s Thumbelina, an original musical setting of Hans Christian Andersen’s tale of a tiny girl who goes on a big adventure.
