Auburn Symphony Orchestra is excited to welcome families to its first-ever FREE family concert, Peter and the Wolf, on Saturday, April 26 at 2:30 p.m. at the Auburn Performing Arts Center (map below).

Created with young audiences in mind, this 50-minute program is perfect for children ages 5–10 and anyone looking for a fun and memorable introduction to live orchestral music.

At the heart of the concert is Sergei Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, a lively musical story where each character is brought to life by a different instrument of the orchestra. With narration and a special performance by Children’s Dance Theater, the story unfolds in a way that is easy to follow, engaging, and full of imagination.

Attendees will experience “Golden” from K-Pop Demon Hunters like they’ve never heard it before.The Oscar-winning hit will be brought to life by the full symphony in a fun, high-energy performance the whole family can enjoy.

The program also features a mix of familiar and playful pieces: Edvard Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King, Leroy Anderson’s Old MacDonald, and the finale from Gioachino Rossini’s William Tell Overture.

Families are encouraged to come early and make an afternoon of it. Doors open at 1:30 p.m., with free activities in the lobby before the concert, including crafts and snacks for kids.

This performance is generously sponsored by 4Culture and the Curiosity Pass.

Admission is FREE and open to the public.
