Here’s what to expect:

Instrument Petting Zoo: This gigantic Zoo is waiting for you to try an instrument or two… or six! Try all the different instruments of the symphonic orchestra to receive a very special prize. There are even miniature violins and cellos for tiny hands and fingers!

Very First Concerts with the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra, best for 7 and under. Dancing is encouraged at Very First Concerts with the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra: short, engaging concerts designed for the youngest listeners.

Musical performances for all ages throughout the day, including inspiring young musicians from Crowden programs

Construct your own instruments to make music at home within the instrument crafts room. Activities include face painting, prizes for every kid, and much more.

Access to Very First Concerts will be on a first-come, first-served basis. These performances repeat at 10:15, 11, and 11:45 am.
