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 Wurlitzer. For the 2023-24 Concert Hall Series we are happy to present The Dayton Contemporary Dance Company this fall and The Nightingale Opera Theatre- Alice in Wonderland in the Spring of 2024. Read more about how these performances tie into your curriculum and offer an enriching afternoon of arts education for students.
