Escape the heat with the beats and melodies of music. Join the Museum for a FREE, interactive day of musical discovery through fun classes, hands-on experiences, crafts, snacks, and more.

Whether the kids are singing along with Miss Kaite of Spirit in Tune, learning to play instruments with Hartford Symphony Orchestra, or making their own instruments to take home, families are sure to find something to enjoy. 

Drop-in throughout the day, and please note: Families must pre-register (free!) to participate in the interactive music classes with Spirit in Tune.
