The art of music-making is magical! It's the result of combining four creative forces which merge to communicate ideas, thoughts, and feelings. These forces—composer, conductor, musician and audience—are like links in a chain. Our exciting concert examines each of these four elements and the ways they depend upon each other for success. You'll learn and hear that your role—the audience—is the most wondrously magical of all! This Concert will be the perfect way to end your Music for Families concert season!

Give your children a gift that will last a lifetime—the unforgettable experience of live orchestral music. Our Music for Families Series is engaging and fun, a great way to pass the Symphony tradition from one generation to the next. Part performance, part family outing, these affordable afternoons will spark the imagination of the whole family.
