Join our spectacular musical journey through a wildly diverse family of percussion instruments and fun, energetic musical styles. This event is part of the Kids Fare kids' concert series at Northwestern University.

Celebrate the many different keyboard instruments - including pianos, accordions, concertinas, and melodeons - in a kaleidoscopic blend of music, dance, and song. This concert is part of Northwestern University's Kids Fare kids' concert series.

Music for Life is a special way for families to experience classical music. Parents (or grandparents) bring children between the ages of four and ten to our concerts. They sit together in the audience for the first orchestral work on the program. Then Maestro Heatherington excuses the children to go to a separate room with professional music educators from the Music Institute of Chicago. There they learn more about the music they have heard, the composer or the historical and cultural setting of the music. Instructors use visual arts, drama, storytelling and movement to stimulate the children's own imagination and creativity. Adult companions enjoy the remainder of the concert, join the children during intermission for refreshments, and pick them up when the concert is over. The program is FREE for the children, and free childcare for the entire concert is available for siblings under the age of four. Simply purchase the adult tickets and register your child with the box office.
