About this Performance
Like a train conductor guiding travelers, a musical conductor can transport us to exciting places using rhythm, melody, and imagination—just with the flick of a baton or the wave of an arm. Conductor Ana María Patiño-Osorio steers us through a thrilling ride on Villa-Lobos’ Bachianas Brasileira, a stormy sea voyage through Scheherazade, a festive dance-filled adventure across Spain and Mexico, and more.
John Adams’ Short Ride in a Fast Machine kicks off the morning with the entire orchestra boogying along to the steadfast clack of a woodblock before bolting off into a joyful fanfare. Through colorful sounds and lively pieces, we’ll discover how the conductor leads us on a journey and keeps all the musicians on track.
Make sure to come an hour early, at 10am, for a range of exciting activities that change to fit the theme of each performance. Children and families enjoy self-guided art activities and fun for all ages throughout the space. Join us for a morning of musical celebration that will stay with children for a lifetime.
This 45-minute concert is recommended for children ages 5 to 11 (children under two not admitted).
