Program Info:
Monique Hafen Adams, narrator
Symphony San Jose

My Very First Symphony is a special one-hour concert presented by Symphony San Jose featuring Britten’s The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, ideal for families with toddlers, preschoolers, and young children.

Brilliantly inventive and endlessly engaging, Britten’s The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra takes listeners on a tour of the ensemble, revealing how the personality of each instrument and their respective families contribute to the symphonic sound.

Introducing children to classical music opens a world of imagination, emotion, and discovery. Live orchestral performances captivate young minds with vibrant sounds, dynamic storytelling, and the magic of musicians creating music together in real time. These early experiences spark curiosity, build listening skills, and create lasting memories that can inspire a lifelong love of music and the arts.

Benjamin Britten - Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, opus 34: composed in 1946 to accompany an educational film produced by the British government and featured in the Oscar-nominated film Moonrise Kingdom
