The Shepherd School of Music

Shepherd School Family Concert

Saturday, February 28
11:00am - 12:00pm
Shepherd School Family Concert

About the Event

Benjamin Britten’s The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra is a timeless introduction to the magic of orchestral music. Musicians from each section of the orchestra—woodwinds, brass, strings, and percussion—get a chance to shine in a lively theme and variations. Before the hour-long family-friendly performance, join us in the Grand Foyer for instrument demonstrations and a chance to meet the Shepherd School musicians!

The fun continues after the concert!
Audience members are invited to take a short 5-minute walk to the Moody Center for the Arts for more family-friendly fun after the concert.
