Family Concert and Instrument Petting Zoo - Quad in front of Memorial Chapel

symphony@redlands.edu (Paul Myers) — Sun, 19 May 2013 21:00:00 GMT

2:00PM to 6:00PM:

Bring the whole family out for a free afternoon of music and fun. Kids not only get to hear the instruments in action, but get to try them out at the Instrument Petting Zoo! Admission is free and no tickets are required.

The concert, which will be conducted by Maestro Co Nguyen, assistant conductor of the Redlands Symphony, will feature music from Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite and Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf.

“For kids who already play an instrument, this is an opportunity to show off their musical skills,” Paul Ideker, president and CEO of the Redlands Symphony, said. “And for kids who are thinking about the possibility of getting more involved in music, this is the kind of experience that can heighten their interest and encourage them to pick up an instrument and give it a try.”

This year’s concert is being held in tribute to Lois Lauer, a Redlands business woman and philanthropist who was a major supporter of the symphony’s programs for young people.

“We have a long weekend stay at the Circle Z Guest Ranch in Patagonia, Arizona, a week at a wonderful condo in Mammoth, many hotel stays, gift cards at great restaurants and beautiful jewelry to offer,” Mary Carruthers, event chair, said. “The list goes on and on.”

The Symphony will also highlight a collection of hand painted violins created by a group of local artists that will be available during the silent auction portion of the evening.

The Dancing with the Stars Showcase will include performances by Curtis B. Allen, Sr., Betty Beck, Roy Cencirulo, Pat Gilbreath and Marvin Hudson.
