Symphony Kids: Meet the Winds

About

They huff, they puff, and they blow all their air to make a sound! From birdsongs, to sneaky cats – you and your kiddos will experience the unique sounds that the flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon and French horn make together.

Your family’s musical exploration starts here! San Diego Symphony musicians share their favorite sing-a-longs, rhymes, dances, and musical games in a series that introduces your youngest listeners to the instruments of the orchestra. 

Designed for families with children ages 0 – 5, these interactive, fun, and sensory-friendly concerts are 30 minutes.

Each Symphony Kids concert will feature fun pre-concert activities. Families are encouraged to arrive early and enjoy hands-on experiences, including crafts and musical instrument exploration in collaboration with ChIMES. These concerts are sensory friendly and feature options like a designated quiet room, sensory kits (upon request), and social stories to support your family's visit.

In partnership with SDSU Center for Autism + Developmental Disorders and Autism Society San Diego
