Join us for a special family-friendly concert where young music lovers can get up close and personal with the four families of the symphony orchestra! The event kicks off with an instrument petting zoo at 1:00, giving students a hands-on experience with real orchestral instruments. During the concert, we’ll perform shorter engaging pieces to showcase the unique sounds of each instrument family—strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. Plus, a few lucky children may be selected to sit within the orchestra itself for an unforgettable experience! It’s the perfect way to introduce kids to the magic of live music.
