INSTRUMENT DISCOVERY ZOO

Do you have a young music fan on your hands? Symphony Sundays for Kids concerts are about one hour long with no intermission, and feature classical favourites every child should know.

Families attending the concerts are also invited to come early for the Instrument Discovery Zoo in the Jack Singer Concert Hall lobby, where they can visit different stations hosted by Orchestra musicians. Each station features an instrument or musical activity for children to try, so they can learn firsthand what it’s like to blow in a trumpet or run a bow across the strings of a violin.

This fun, hands-on experience is the perfect way to indulge your child’s curiosity and excitement about visiting the Orchestra.

The Instrument Discovery Zoo starts at 2PM and the performance starts at 3PM.
