About The Concert

When his mother rents their vacant room to a peculiar composer, Ludwig van Beethoven, 10-year-old Christoph can’t believe his bad luck. But as the gruff man begins creating his masterful Ninth Symphony, Christoph is won over by the majesty of his music.

Symphony For Kids concerts are designed to be the ideal child-sized introduction to orchestral music and are recommended for ages 5–12. 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.
