Start the Music! A Percussion Family Party

Details

About This Program

Designed for children ages 3-6, Start the Music! is the perfect way to introduce a young listener to classical music. Prior to the concert, musical activities engage small hands and big imaginations. During the 30-minute concert, mesmerized faces and aisle-dancing are common sights a family of instruments are introduced and the used to put a “soundtrack” behind a children’s book, narrated by Joanna Cortright. 

These events have general admission seating.
