About
Your orchestra brings to life the storybook Because, by Mo Willems, author of "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" and the Elephant and Piggie series. Let your child be inspired by the music and storytelling in this powerful tale of how discovery and persistence led a girl on a path to center stage. The full-orchestra concert experience features projections of the book’s magical illustrations during a 45-minute program created for children under 12 with their families.
Arrive Early for a Pre-concert Festival
Make it a day at the symphony with free, pre-concert activities the whole family will love! Discover your favorite instrument at the Instrument Exploration Station, find your inner artist in craft making, and capture the fun with themed photo booths.
