“Since 1921, when The Philadelphia Orchestra first introduced concerts for children, we have proudly and thoughtfully curated family-focused concerts—welcoming hundreds of thousands of families to exciting and accessible performances—and expanded this tradition with a myriad of genres and experiences, from Broadway to film, dance to acrobatics, that make up The Philadelphia Orchestra and Ensemble Arts's Family Discovery Series,” said Ryan Fleur, president and CEO.
