The performance with Riverside Symphony took place Saturday on the Upper West Side.
In addition to featuring Bill Ritter, the event also featured Romanian-French pianist Alexandra Joan.
And while Bill admitted he was a little nervous to step out of his comfort zone, he says he was really excited.
The show is designed for audience members ages 8 and up. The composition has been a children's favorite for generations with different instruments representing the characters in the story.
