Integrity, not oratory, was generally agreed to be the strong suit of Sen. Paul Simon, who left the Senate in January and now is a professor at Southern Illinois University. But Simon must possess some hidden show-biz genes, because he has agreed to serve as narrator when the Elgin Symphony Orchestra performs Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf” as part of the orchestra’s Family Concert Series. The performance will take place at 10 a.m. Saturday at Elgin Community College’s Visual and Performing Arts Center. Call 847-888-4000.
