If you’d like to introduce your kids to classical music but they are not quite ready to sit through a full-length concert, this is your chance.
Tailored for our youngest audiences, The klpac Orchestra’s Classical for Kids concerts are presented in a highly interactive and engaging manner where they get to experience an orchestra up close and get a taste of classical music in a relaxed environment.
We invite them to step into a world of adventure, mystery and music through Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s comic opera, The Magic Flute. With the help of a narrator, the little ones are introduced to Prince Tamino and the bird-catcher Papageno who set out on a mission to rescue Pamino, the daughter of The Queen of the Night, from the evil Sarastro.
Along the way, the young audiences will chant some spells, root for the characters and pick up a thing or two.
The concert ends with A Meet The Orchestra where kids (and adults!) can get to know more about the orchestra, its musicians and instruments.
