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 last approximately 45 minutes and will be preceded by age-appropriate piano music. For the 2025-2026 Season we are happy to present the Dancing Wheels Company - Helen Keller: A Tribute to My Teacher at The Akron Civic Theatre on October 15, 2025, and Ohio Contemporary Ballet - Carnival of Animals at Goodyear Theatre on April 15, 2026. Read more about how these performances tie into your curriculum and offer an enriching afternoon of arts education for students.
