This year’s performance features The Conductor’s Spellbook — a magical, interactive concert experience that introduces children to the world of orchestral music. With narration, colorful characters, and a story that invites kids to learn about instruments and even try conducting, it’s the perfect event for elementary-aged students and families alike.
