These fun and interactive concerts help youngsters ages 4-12, parents and other family members discover and enjoy the power and beauty of symphonic music. Pre-concert activities begin at 1pm.

PROGRAMS FOR FAMILIES is a two-year audience engagement initiative that will depart from the San Diego Symphony’s traditional approach to community engagement by inviting residents of historically underserved neighborhoods to participate in the creation and performance of art. Music, stories and dance have been contributed by people of all ages and backgrounds. These submissions will be woven into a multi-media piece that will be performed for the public free of charge. Performances of the new work are planned for the Summer of 2014 in three community venues and Symphony Hall. For more information, please contact Leonor Perez, Ph.D., Artistic Projects Manager at 619.615.3940 or lperez@sandiegosymphony.org.
