About The Concert
Be inspired by this moving tale of a young girl's journey to center stage told through music. This heartwarming story is a powerful symphony of chance, discovery, and perseverance that influences the main character's life goals of becoming an aspiring conductor and composer. The ESO brings Mo Willems’ award-winning book Because to life, with music written by Jessie Montgomery, in this symphony of serendipity, reminding us that sometimes the smallest moments have the biggest impact.
Symphony For Kids concerts are designed to be the ideal child-sized introduction to orchestral music. Family-friendly activities are available in the lobby prior to each SFK concert, so be sure to arrive early – and, of course, there will be fresh popcorn!
This concert will not include an intermission.
