The Ann Arbor Summer Festival Features the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra, 6/26

How do vibrations become sounds, and sounds become music? Find out by getting up close and personal with the instruments of your A2SO! The Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra's Instrument Petting Zoo provides hands-on fun with musical instruments! With the help of trained "zookeepers," kids get the chance to bow a violin, pluck a cello, buzz into a trombone, or wiggle their fingers on a flute. It's a noisy good time for the whole family.
