Pensacola Symphony Orchestra Presents:
‘Music for Families’ Concert
PENSACOLA, FL— Come join the Pensacola Symphony for an exciting fun filled morning the entire
family will enjoy! This interactive event will take place at the Saenger Theatre on Saturday May 23rd with
preconcert activities starting at 9:30 am followed immediately by an hour long concert at 11:00 am.
‘Music for Families’ provides a fun and entertaining introduction to classical music for children ages 3-12.
A variety of hands-on activities will be in the lobby of the Saenger, featuring our partners at the MESS
Hall, UWF Historic Trust, West Florida Public Libraries, Escambia County Supervisor of Elections, IHMC,
local artist Randy New and more! There will also be an interactive art station, a drum circle, and an
Instrument Petting Zoo. The Instrument Petting Zoo allows children of all ages (and adults!) to try their
favorite instruments and meet the musicians.
For this year’s concert, the audience joins the Symphony on a musical adventure aboard a magical train!
Train stops along the way will guide the audience on a journey discovering all the instrument families of
the orchestra through favorite musical works such as the theme from Star Wars, William Tell Overture,
selections from Disney’s Frozen, and many more!
