Text by Corinne Baudet

Three little pigs leave the family nest and are at the mercy of a prowling wolf. Each one builds a house to protect himself from the wolf. The three houses reflect the character of each little pig: a lazy one, a creative one and an anxious one. The wolf will try to catch the little pigs. Not easy when you are a nice, scared wolf!

The famous story of the three little pigs adapted and revisited in a humorous way for three trombones and a tuba, around lively, varied pieces and unusual sound effects that will make you discover instruments of the brass family as you have never heard them before!
