Musical Rainbows


Family Concerts
Ideal for children 7 and up

 
Family Concerts are a great way to get kids excited about classical music! These narrated, 60-minute concerts performed by The Cleveland Orchestra in historic Severance Hall, are structured around a theme and feature guest artists such as young musicians, dancers, actors, and more. Family Concerts offer a unique and fun-filled opportunity for families to spend quality time with their children, enrich their lives through exposure to the musical arts, and share the excitement of live music performed by one of the world’s top orchestras.
 
All Family Concerts are preceded by free activities, including Instrument Discovery, throughout the hall that are related to the concert theme and enhance your child’s enjoyment of the performance.

Musical Rainbows
Ideal for children 3 - 6

 
Which instrument is bigger – violin or viola? How many strings are on a harp? What’s a bassoon? Children will discover the answers to these musical questions and more during 30-minute Musical Rainbow concerts –-- a fun, interactive way for our youngest listeners to learn about the instruments of the orchestra. Musical Rainbow concerts are performed by Cleveland Orchestra musicians and are hosted by local actress and singer Maryann Nagel. Children have the chance to sing, clap, and move to the music as they have fun learning all about instruments. Musical Rainbows are performed in the 400-seat Reinberger Chamber Hall at Severance Hall.
