Children of all ages will be guided through Maurice Ravel's Mother Goose Suite, which features vivid musical depictions of scenes from well-known fairy tales like Sleeping Beauty, Tom Thumb and Beauty and the Beast. That will be followed by Children's Games, short pieces by George Bizet that capture the feelings of a bouncing ball, a toy soldier, and even a spinning top. Finally, kids will get to make up their own stories for the music in William Walton's Music for Children.

During and after the concert, the children will have an opportunity to see the instruments up close in our musical “petting zoo!
