FAMILY: LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!

Oh no! With a big movie premiere coming up, the producer realized that he forgot to hire a composer to create a movie score. He turns to the audience to help him decide what music to include. This interactive concert engages the audience in a creative and collaborative process with the orchestra. Exploring concepts of pitch, rhythm, and various instruments of the orchestra, children are challenged to pair visual images with music as they develop critical listening skills in a high-energy and fun experience.
