Concert Hall Series
A Field Trip to Inspire Musical Memories
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. Performances are one day only at 9:45 am or 12:30 pm. Each performance lasts approximately 45 minutes and will be preceded by age-appropriate organ or piano music. For the 2026-2027 season, we are happy to present two programs at the historic Akron Civic Theatre: The Press Play Orchestra, sister/partner symphony of the Video Game Symphony on October 14, 2026, and The Toledo Opera on Wheels, performing Three Little Pigs set to Mozart’s most famous arias on April 14, 2027. Read more about how these performances align with your curriculum and provide an enriching arts experience for students.
