What To Expect

orKIDStra concerts are designed to be fun, engaging, and approachable for kids and families alike! You can expect to hear familiar tunes from popular movies and artists that everyone will recognize, along with a few traditional pieces that introduce young audiences to the world of classical music. These concerts typically last a little over an hour—just the right amount of time to keep young listeners captivated and curious. Whether it’s a first concert experience or a family tradition, orKIDStra performances are a relaxed, welcoming way for kids to enjoy live music and learn something new along the way.

Come Ready to Craft

Before the performance, kids are invited to get creative with fun activities where they can make their own musical instruments from recycled materials. From shakers made with water bottles to mini guitars crafted from cardboard and rubber bands, these hands-on projects let kids build their own instruments to play during the concert! Throughout the performance, they’ll have chances to join in, making the music even more engaging and interactive.
