Discovers Presents: Free Family Concert - The Bear Who Couldn't Fish

Timothy’s Perrysburg Foundation is pleased to announce the artists for the second Discovers Music Series concert of 2026. This free performance, as with all our events, will be presented at St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church, in Perrysburg. The mission of the Foundation is “to clothe, feed and fulfill” and our next artists will “fulfill” indeed. We are delighted to feature the “Opera on Wheels” program, offered by the Toledo Opera, a delightful afternoon for children of all ages.

In a release by the Toledo Opera, “the traveling production will be an original children’s opera: The Bear Who Couldn’t Fish. Joshua Borths of James Madison University School of Music wrote the score and libretto. James M. Norman, Toledo Opera’s General Director, will direct the production. Opera on Wheels is one of the most exciting programs we offer, and this year, we’re especially thrilled to present an original work that beautifully blends the arts with science. Our incredibly talented Resident Artists – selected from a pool of over 150 applicants nationwide – are bringing something truly special to K-6 classrooms across the region. It’s apowerful way to spark imagination and curiosity through music, storytelling, and discovery,” shared Norman.

Toledo Opera Artistic Director Kevin Bylsma added: “With every season, Toledo Opera is fortunate to attract amazingly talented and passionate young singers to our Resident Artist program. I am very excited to work with our 2025-26 artists as they bring the joy of opera to our schools and community.”
