SAVE THE DATE: June 10
WHAT’S UP?
The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s Tiny Tots concert series returns to New West on Saturday, June 10.
WHEN AND WHERE?
The fun happens at the Anvil Centre Theatre, 777 Columbia St. (third floor), with shows at 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
The VSO’s Tiny Tots concert series is presented by Let Your Music Shine With Lisa and Linda, a.k.a. Lisa Grace and Linda Sebenius. The musicians have been presenting Tiny Tots concerts with the Seattle Symphony since 2000 and with Vancouver since 2005 – introducing the very youngest concertgoers to the world of classical music and to the instruments of the orchestra.
Tiny Tots concerts are aimed at toddlers and preschoolers (up to about age five), with their parents or caregivers – moving along and getting involved is encouraged, so parents need not worry about small people’s ability to stay still.
WHAT MUSIC WILL WE HEAR?
Each concert is on a different theme. This concert is called Let’s Have a Playdate, and kids get to experience fast and slow music on three “playdates” – at a friend’s house, at the park and at a concert. It’s all set to the music of Johannes Brahms, and Lisa and Linda will be accompanied by a woodwind quartet.
