The Cambridge Symphony Orchestra, Cynthia Woods, Music Director, presents its annual family concert! For families with children of all ages, a wonderful introduction to the varied musical sounds and styles of the orchestra. Camille Saint-Saens' Carnival of the Animals, led by the talented young pianists Jacob Kline and Nicholas Kniesche, creates musical depictions of many animals, from lions and elephants to kangaroos and swans.
Then savor the excitement of Dvořák’s Carnival Overture, the spine-tingling delight of Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King, and our annual audience sing-along.
After the concert, children are invited to our instrument petting zoo, where they can greet orchestra musicians and try out string, woodwind, percussion and brass instruments for the first time!
Cambridge Trust Company has generously provided underwriting for youth tickets. Instruments for the petting zoo supplied by Rayburn Music.
Tickets are available now at http://www.cambridgsymphony.org. Prices are $15 (adult general seating) and $5 (children, students and seniors).
