Inspire: CCS Family Concert & Instrument Petting Zoo (at Atlas Performing Arts Center)
Join Capital City Symphony and celebrated performer Erika Rose for a symphonic adventure that will make audiences gasp with delight. The lively Brahms Hungarian Dance No. 5 draws the audience in, then they're invited to join the performance in Bruce Adolphe’s Three Pieces for Kids In The Audience & Chamber Orchestra. As the grand finale, Jessie Montgomery's Because (based on the beloved story by Mo Willems) tells the tale of a curious girl who discovers the magic of music through the power of community.
As the stage comes to life with narration, colorful illustrations, and a full orchestra, the playful melodies of Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony mingle with Montgomery's original music as the girl moves from exploration to discovery. Prepare to be surprised, laugh along, and maybe find inspiration in the Instrument Petting Zoo.
