Pajamas aren’t required but are always welcome! Join Festival City Symphony’s long-standing Pajama Jamboree concert tradition on Wednesday, May 5 at 7pm at the Wilson Center as the orchestra performs music perfect for young and not-so-young concert-goers alike! Music Director Carter Simmons and student MC Abigail Hanna will host as Festival City Symphony performs lively and beautiful music all about “Why We Love the Orchestra!” Both physically-distanced assigned seating and virtual attendance options are available for this hour-long program, and tickets are FREE with a suggested donation of $10/person.
Geared towards children and their families, Festival City Symphony’s Pajama Jamboree concerts include narration to educate children about the music and instruments of the orchestra. Casual dress is encouraged, including pajamas, teddy bears, and blankets! Pajama Jamborees are best suited for children in K4 through fifth grade.
Free Classical Pops Concerts for Children
Select Wednesdays from 7:00pm – 8:00pm.
Our series of FREE classical “pops” concerts, each one hour in length, is geared to children and their families. Each concert has narration and music selections that are lively, tell a story, and/or demonstrate the colors of the orchestra. Dress is casual. Pajamas, teddy bears, and blankets are welcome for the youngest audience members. The programs are frequently collaborative efforts with guest artists appealing to kids (dancers, costumed actors, children’s performing groups, etc.). Sometimes audience members even get to conduct!
