Curated for young music enthusiasts, audience members will be given the opportunity to dance, move, and sing while listening to a guided introduction to the instruments of the orchestra. These free, half-hour performances are a great way for parents, grandparents, teachers, and guardians to introduce classical music to their young listeners in a familiar setting. Stay tuned for upcoming KinderConcerts in the area!
