Description
Join the Colorado Symphony for a fun-filled family afternoon highlighted by the beloved classic Peter and the Wolf, where music and storytelling come together to introduce young listeners to the orchestra. Along the way, enjoy lively favorites by Copland, Britten, Gounod, and Johann Strauss Jr., each showcasing different instruments and musical characters. Watch and listen as Peter cleverly outsmarts the Wolf, helped along by the musical friends he meets on his journey in a family-friendly event that is fun for all ages!
Family Series concerts are specifically curated for families with young children. These programs are shorter than typical symphony performances, and last 45-60 minutes including intermission.
Join us for HalfNotes, our family-friendly pre-concert activities starting at 1:00 PM. Meet some furry friends from the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and learn fun facts about wolves and the amazing world they call home. Then head inside to the Bach Room to create your own mask inspired by Peter & the Wolf. Will you be the Wolf, Duck, Cat, or Bird? The choice is yours!
