Concert Hall Series
|
Our Concert Hall Series has been the heart of Children’s Concert Society since 1947. Through this series, students have the opportunity to experience sights and sounds that can only fully be appreciated in a concert hall. Concerts are held at the Akron Civic Theatre and last approximately 45 minutes and will be preceded by age-appropriate music played on the historic Mighty Wulitzer. For the 2022-23 Concert Hall Series we are happy to present The Nightingale Opera Theatre- Pinocchio and The Freedom Brass Band. Read more about how these performances tie into your curriculum and offer an enriching afternoon of arts education for students.
