Tacoma Symphony Orchestra Mini Maestros: Percussion of Parade

Drumroll, please! The TSO Percussion Quartet invites you to join them for a grand showcase of the percussion family. The audience will be fascinated by the number of different instruments, as well as a few “instruments” that are part of our everyday lives. Listeners will be introduced to the elements of rhythm, body percussion, tempo and steady beat, to name a few. Be prepared for your feet to march, your hands to clap, and your eyes and ears to be dazzled as the quartet goes on parade!

Mini Maestros concerts are an informal offering specially created for children ages 2 to 8 and their grown-ups. Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, with the full orchestra, opened the series. This will be followed by three programs for smaller ensembles – providing for an interactive, close encounter with the musicians. With curriculum prepared by early childhood learning experts, the 45-minute “informances” feature elements to engage children both physically and mentally. An instrument petting zoo starts one hour before each concert.
