From buzzing bumblebees and clucking hens to proud lions, hopping kangaroos, and graceful swans, the San Diego Symphony brings the animal kingdom to life through color, rhythm, and imagination. Families will hear how music paints pictures – how strings can flutter like wings, how pianos can trot like donkeys, and how melodies can dive, leap, strut, and soar. Join us for hands-on activities, animal-themed crafts, and a joyful orchestra adventure where every creature has a musical voice, and every family belongs in the wonder of live music.
