Cambridge Symphony Family Concert 2023

Cambridge Symphony Orchestra (CSO) brings baseball to the orchestral stage at its beloved, annual Family Concert on Sunday, April 23 at the Somerville Theatre. Cambridge Symphony Orchestra’s annual Family Concert is a chance for music lovers of all ages to enjoy a variety of classical music for the whole family. Join orchestra musicians for several family-friendly favorites, including "Casey at the Bat" by composer Allen Feinstein. To appeal to a diverse audience of children (including those on the autism spectrum), this concert will contain sensory-friendly elements including reduced lighting, and parents are welcome to bring anything (coloring books, tactile objects, etc.) that would help their children enjoy an hour of music. Attendees may dance in the aisles or use noise-reducing headphones if they choose. Braille programs will also be available. Tickets are $5–20.

As part of its mission to forge strong community ties through music, CSO highlights a local nonprofit as a Spotlight Partner during each concert series. The Spotlight Partner for this concert is Team Verge. Team Verge harnesses the power and joy of running to transform lives and connect people through inclusive, community-based training programs for all abilities while expanding access to sport, fitness and team belonging to kids and young adults with challenges.

Masks will be optional during this performance and proof of vaccination will not be required for admittance.
