Fox Valley Philharmonic Children's Concert

Description

At 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 21st,  the Fox Valley Philharmonic Orchestra, under the baton of Maryann Flock, will present a special Children's Concert. The free concert will feature a collection of light classical music with plenty of audience interaction. Children will have the opportunity to participate in the percussion feature of the Toy Symphony attributed to Leopold Mozart. Children may also be in the spotlight as a maestro when kids take turns conducting the Phil live in concert. During the intermission, there will be an "Instrument Petting Zoo" where children can try playing various orchestral instruments. This concert is programmed for young ones, but guarantees a concert full of enjoyment for the young-at-heart as well. Admission to the concert is free, but donations are accepted. The FVAMP 5th annual Children's Concert will be held at Our Savior Lutheran Church located at 420 West Downer Place in Aurora (There is plenty of parking in the lot behind the church, accessible from Garfield Avenue). This concert is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
