These programs, including Fiddlesticks, introduce thousands of children annually to orchestral music, help support music programs in our schools and bring comfort to the sick through our Music & Wellness program. None of this is possible without your support. Please consider making a gift to the Symphony’s Annual Fund with your ticket purchase.

One of the most versatile and exhilarating musical instruments is the human voice. At this kick-off to the 2015-2016 season, Fiddlesticks and friends celebrate singing in all its many forms — from the razzle-dazzle of Broadway to the drama of opera…and everything in between! Lift your spirits (and your voice) with “Do-Re-Mi” from The Sound of Music, selections from Annie, Mozart’s The Magic Flute and many more!
Music and dance go hand-in-hand, and this concert will make you twist, stomp and spin! You won’t be able to keep your toes from tapping as Fiddlesticks and dancers from the area’s best dance programs join with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra to move to music from Piazzola’s Tango and Tchaikovsky’s Waltz from Sleeping Beauty, along with many others. Be sure to wear your dancing shoes to this one!
Fiddlesticks is all about the fun that musical play can bring — whether you’re playing an instrument, creating or improvising music, playing with sound or playing games on the playground! Hear some of our favorite music by Pittsburgh-born Henry Mancini, sing along to Take Me Out to the Ball Game and much more. Musical play can be playfully fun and Fiddlesticks will show you how!
