Claflin Hill presents its annual Sunday afternoon “Family Symphony Concert” – “Dancing in the Aisles” . An increasingly popular event in the CHSO season, this concert is ideal for families with small children, designed to give them their first live symphony concert experience in a friendly, informal and accessible format. The concert is preceded with an “Instrument Petting Zoo,” where audience members get to try out the orchestral instruments with the assistance of CHSO professional musicians.
The program theme for this year’s Family Concert is “Dancing in the Aisles” and presents music inspired by dance – including classical period “minuets” and waltzes”, as well as exciting dances such as the famous “Saber Dance” and Saint Saens “Bacchanale” from the opera Samson and Delilah. The orchestra will even “swing out” a little at the end with Big Band era dance tunes of Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman.
Tickets for the “Family Symphony Concert” are $12 adults and $8 students/seniors, all general admission and open seating. Tickets can be purchased through the website and will also be available at the door on concert day.
