Atlanta Symphony Family Series

The Atlanta Symphony has 3 concerts in their Family Series this year.  They are:

"Halloween on Hogwarts"

Wholly Harry, wholly entertaining! Led by a wise old wizard with a bedazzling assortment of tricks up his sleeve, the Orchestra performs selections from the Harry Potter films. Dress as your favorite witch, sorcerer or other fantasy character and delight in the annual musician costume contest and a slew of surprises.

"Charlotte and the Music Maker" 

Gleeful entertainment for everyone! Ignored at home despite her musical talent, Charlotte runs away and runs smack into trouble until the Music-Maker, a genial but mysterious gent, sweeps her away on a trip of wondrous discovery. Charlotte enters the thrilling world of the orchestra and the exciting sound and colors of its instruments, accompanied by a stunning original score.

"Mother Goose"

Discover the fascinating world of Mother Goose as she spins enchanting stories of her childhood. Inspired by Ravel’s rich musical imagery, and featuring the creative team that gave us this season’s magical Cinderella, Mother Goose’s tales act out the triumphs of being human for both children and adults.
