With the sounds of marching toys, silly horns, and gentle brass melodies, little ones will hear how music can stomp, tiptoe, wiggle and dance. Children are encouraged to march, bounce or simply listen in their own way in this welcoming, sensory-friendly space. A joyful first introduction to the bold, bright world of brass.

These 30-minute interactive concerts are sensory-friendly and designed with little ones in mind. Sing-alongs, rhymes, dances and musical games will engage your child while introducing them to the instruments of the orchestra.
