Join the Middlesex Concert
Band for its children's concert, "The Shapes of
Music" on Sunday, October 9, 2011 at 2:00 pm.
The band will perform familiar, traditional, and popular music
exploring the forms and styles of music -- from marches to
ballads.
One lucky child will have a
chance to show off his or her inner Arthur Fiedler and conduct
the band for one song. Following the performance, children
will have an opportunity to try out instruments in a musical
"petting zoo." All children will bring home a souvenir
coloring book based on the concert theme.
Come join us for a very fun afternoon.
