Benjamin Britten’s The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra is a timeless introduction to the magic of orchestral music. Musicians from each section of the orchestra—woodwinds, brass, strings, and percussion—get a chance to shine in a lively theme and variations. Before the hour-long family-friendly performance, join us in the Grand Foyer for instrument demonstrations and a chance to meet the Shepherd School musicians!
