Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra

The DSO’s instruments come to life in this delightful presentation of Britten’s beloved work, narrated by actor Michael Boudewyns. Learn about the different families of instruments and more in this exciting program of orchestral classics!
Young People's Family Concerts are an exciting introduction to classical music that often include dance, theater, storytelling, and video. Young People's Concerts have introduced generations of children to classical music—a friendship that lasts a lifetime.
You're invited to join us in the William Davidson Atrium after the concert for family-friendly activities including a composer’s workshop, instrument try-out tables, a face painting station, a creative journaling station allowing children to decorate a journal that they can take home with them, and a “make an instrument” craft table. Children will also have the opportunity to write notes to DSO musicians and visit an informational booth hosted by the MSU Community Music School in Detroit, which will feature additional musical activities.
