Do families already know about this???? It sounds fabulous! I hope to make it to the first and the third event.
When we were growing up, by some stroke of luck, our family attended many concerts. Some were concerts where siblings were performing but many were recitals, ensembles from the local college, or when the symphony traveled to our region...I think it's very important to take children to as many live concerts as you can manage. Live music has special qualities that affect our well being! Concerts like these that are free are wonderful because if you have to drift out with an especially wiggly one--it's OK! After the concert talk about what you heard, what you liked, what was amazing....It doesn't take too long before you have children who are attentive and critical listeners. And they start to apply these skills to their musical endeavors and also to their listening skills for school and everywhere else!
