We live near Rochester, NY and often have opportunities to enjoy the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra! I’ve blogged before about their Sunday kids’ performances. Recently we were able to see Green Eggs and Ham!
Of course there are no photos allowed once the concert begins, but we snapped these of the kiddos before it started. Cutie Pie was very interested in all the instruments on the stage (we sat in the balcony so we could see all the instruments on stage.) Cutie Pie was just plain interested in everything going on !
The performance always includes a great selection of music, but also a singer or two and lots of audience interaction with the conductor. The RPO’s OrKidstra conductor is great at this!
I always encourage parents to let their children listen to music, but anytime the kiddos can see an actual concert that is age-appropriate it’s even better! Most of the time orchestral concerts for the kids, like this one, have an instrument “petting” time before or after as well, which is an awesome time for the kids to actually touch and try the instruments they see on stage!
What types of music experiences do you and your kiddos enjoy?
