Concert for Kids: Musical Tales
Newark Symphony is trying something new this year. We're giving a
concert designed especially for kids. It's only an hour long, and it's
got pictures!
We'll play the
"Adventures of Robin Hood Suite," and the
"Fairy Tale Suite" with a beautiful
slide show
that lets the kids know what's going on in the music,
and it will all be tied together
by the colorful commentary of maestro Roman Pawlowski.
You can bring all the kids, too, because they're free! The $10
adult ticket price covers as many K-12 kids as you can bring.
We're hoping to make this an annual event, so please come and enjoy
the show!
