This Sunday, Camellia Symphony Orchestra is presenting a FREE Family Concert and Instrument Petting Zoo!
The critically acclaimed, community-based Camellia Symphony Orchestra often performs world, national, and Sacramento premieres. Their Free Family Concert Series is designed to introduce people of all ages to classical music in a fun, informative and casual format.
The Instrument Petting Zoo will begin at 1:00pm. It allows children and their parents to learn about and play instruments from an orchestra. All four sections of the orchestra are represented – strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion. This season a new activity has been added—FUNSHOPS, offered by Very Special Arts (VSA). Kids will make and take home rain sticks and musical note cards!
A one-hour family-friendly concert follows at 2:00 when they will offer a variety of fun classical music selections from movie scores to highlights from the Season Concert Series.
When: Sunday, November 21, 2010; 1:00-3:00pm
Where: Riverbank Elementary School, 1100 Carrie Street, West Sacramento, 95605
Cost: FREE

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
