Because: A Symphony of Serendipity

About

Be inspired as you sing, dance, and read along with the orchestra in this energetic concert celebrating Día de los Muertos and the ways that we’re connected to and inspired by people across time. Featuring music by Latin-American composers and Jessie Montgomery’s score to Mo Willems and Amber Ren’s award-winning book Because, this concert is full of energy and surprises!

This concert is designed for families with children ages 6 – 12. Please join us one hour before the performance for pre-concert activities in the lobby. Audience members are invited to bring photos or memories to add to our community ofrenda.
