Very First Concerts
Tunes for tots on tumbling mats! These delightful mini concerts for toddlers teach musical concepts, offer hands-on activities, and encourage lots of movement and dancing! Developed in collaboration with the Crowden School of Berkeley.
Admission is free to all concertgoers! Seating is first come, first served. Concerts are 20 minutes long, with repeat performances.
Our 2012–2013 season of Very First Concerts is complete. Please check again soon for our 2013–2014 preview!
Show Programs Presented Earlier This Season Photo © Andreas Guther Our ears don’t close, and we hear things all day and all night. But when do we really listen? And what happens when we do? Join Ben Simon and members of the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra in a voyage of discovery into the “Land of Listen,” where wonderful things can happen if (for a moment) you’re really quiet! Photo by Janas Page Come with us to the zoo—the instrument zoo! Meet the nimble violin, the grumpy bassoon, the growling trombone, and all the other musical instruments that make up the modern-day orchestra.
