Melrose Orchestra To Share Its Instruments With Young Minds Before Family Concert

MELROSE, MA — The Melrose Symphony Orchestra is holding a unique family-friendly event this weekend as its season enters its final months.

The Orchestra’s Family Concert is scheduled for this coming Sunday afternoon on Sunday, March 29 at the group’s Memorial Hall headquarters on 590 Main St. Before the music begins however, young attendees will get a chance to get an up-close look at the instruments that make the melodies happen. The “Instrument Petting Zoo” is slated to begin at 1:30 p.m., 90 minutes before the concert kicks off.

“We’ve designed a fast-paced, 35-minute performance specifically for families, featuring iconic favorites from Star Wars, Wicked, and more,” the Orchestra said about the concert. “It's the perfect environment for young listeners to experience live music for the first time.”

Tickets can be purchased online now for $10. Children younger than two years old can attend the event for free. Tickets can also be purchased in-person the day of the concert and can be bought with cash, check, and credit card.

The Orchestra is the oldest performing volunteer orchestra in the country. Yoichi Udagawa has been the conductor since 1997. Following this family concert, the May Pops will be the group’s final performance until the fall.
