The concert is a chance to hear new voices now shaping the future of orchestral music, and a fascinating look at variations offered by a conductor’s interpretation. Don’t miss the excitement when the creative sparks fly! This concert is free—no tickets required!

The Festival’s cherished free Family Concert returns after a four-year hiatus. This year’s program features the delightful VIBE, a lighthearted symphonic exploration by returning composer Greg Smith. The ever-popular “Tour of the Orchestra” allows families to meet musicians and get up close with the fascinating instruments that bring music to life.
