Sound All Around

Children and parents at Sound All Around

2017-18 Season

In Center City at the Academy of Music Ballroom

Presented by
PNC Grow Up Great

Saturdays and Mondays at 10 AM and 11:15 AM

Nurture your child’s passion for music! Sound All Around is a great introduction for youngsters and features members of The Philadelphia Orchestra and award-winning storyteller Charlotte Blake Alston.

Each concert introduces the audience to a member of the string, woodwind, brass, or percussion family, and the final concert features all of the musicians from the season playing together in an ensemble. Concerts are 45 minutes long and a great way for kids, families, daycares, and school groups to have fun with music.

For a second season, we specifically welcome children with sensory sensitivities and their families to our relaxed sensory friendly Saturday performances. Our aim is to create a safe and accepting environment where children, including those on the autism spectrum and with other developmental disabilities, and their families can experience live music together.

Take a deep breath and get ready to learn all about the woodwinds! This instrument family includes the flute, clarinet, oboe, and bassoon. So, what makes them alike? Woodwind musicians blow air into, against, or across the instrument. Some of these instruments use reeds–little pieces of wood that create vibrations and sound.
