Take a musical journey through time as the Symphony pays homage to over a century of trailblazing Black artists, from classical music to ragtime, jazz, classic rock, and beyond! Rock out to Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze,” dance to Scott Joplin’s “The Entertainer” and Florence Price’s exhilarating “Juba” Dance, and much more! This program will also feature a special performance by American Idol contestant Douglas Mills Jr., and students from Kinder High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. This all-ages Saturday morning concert comes with kid-friendly activities, including our popular Instrument Petting Zoo.

Children of all ages, including infants, are welcome at Family Series performances. All patrons must have a ticket when entering the concert venue. Lap children are welcome for free.
