Exploring the Orchestra
Sunday, January 04, 2009
The Stamford Museum and Nature Center's fun-filled mini-concerts for kids (ages 4 – 8) are back! Musicians from the Stamford Symphony return for another season of "Exploring the Orchestra", concerts that make learning so much fun that they always sell out. This season, children will move their Dancing Feet, sing along to Twinkle Tunes, and visit a Zany Zoo.
The Mini-concerts will be offered on winter Sundays at 1:00 and 2:30 pm.

Songs about the moon and stars and the night sky introduce instruments from the string family. Special guest appearance by young musicians studying in the Suzuki string program.
