About The Concert

Experience the heartwarming story, Kiwis Can't Play the Violin, by Pierre Rivard alongside an enchanting full-orchestral score by Emilie Lebel (world premiere). Follow Kiwi on a journey to get a violin and join the orchestra, overcoming challenges and learning about the wonders that encouragement can accomplish.

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.
