Oink! Moo! Woof! Join the QCSO String Quartet for a morning of animal-themed music with narration and concert activities led by QC Music Therapy founder, Misty Dais. Kids between 0-7 and audiences of all ages will enjoy a 45-minute concert with narration and music designed to expand the imagination and explore new sounds. Come as you are and enjoy music together in a relaxed environment with family and friends.
Before and after the concert, young audience members are invited try out Orff instruments (drums, marimba, etc.) sponsored by QC Music Therapy. First concert experiences are special, and our goal is for every family to leave feeling uplifted and full of joy!
