Houston Symphony Announces WANDS AND BATONS: THE MUSIC OF HARRY POTTER AND MORE, 10/6
On October 6, Houston Symphony Associate Conductor Robert Franz will wave his baton and cast a spell over the entire audience to kick off the 2012-13 Family Season with Wands and Batons - The Music of Harry Potter and More.
“Thrown in for good measure will be an older, yet equally as popular musical apprentice,” said Franz. “Dukas’ Sorcerer’s Apprentice will round out the morning, giving parents the perfect opportunity to introduce their young ones to the music of this Disney classic!”
Joining Franz’s tradition of dressing up in a surprise costume in the theme of the concert, kids are encouraged to celebrate Halloween early with Harry Potter and wizard themed costumes.
“Family concerts are the perfect way to spend a Saturday morning enjoying some of the greatest music ever written,” said Franz. “For me, the idea of getting into my costume and introducing families, and especially kids, to the music that I love is a thrill. The Houston Symphony is best experienced live, and what better way to open up your child’s world then with the sounds and sights of these incredible musicians.”
Family Concerts are a fun-filled, interactive and educational concert series created for children and their families. Their concert experience will be enhanced through video projection screens that provide additional story support and enable them to see the orchestra in action. Come early before the 10am concert or stay late after the 11:30am concert to participate in exciting activities including an instrument petting zoo, arts and crafts and youth ensemble performances. For more ticket information, the Houston Symphony Patron Service Center in Jones Hall is open Monday-Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., by phone at (713) 224-7575 or online at www.houstonsymphony.org.
