Kinderconcerts are hands-on experiences kids learn from and remember, with audience participation highly encouraged.

In Sorcerer’s Apprentice, a powerful wizard’s young apprentice attempts to use magic to get through his chores, but his broom comes to life and chaos ensues! Set to a score by French composer Paul Dukas, Sorcerer’s Apprentice includes oboe, bassoon, trumpet, clarinet and viola. The performance explores the concepts of musical dynamics from soft to loud.
