About this Concert
Join ten of the Edmonton Symphony’s musicians on a 60-minute musical journey as they perform a magical tapestry of familiar tunes by great composers. This is the music that inspired them when they were kids, the first songs they learned to play on their instruments, and the works they love to perform as grown-ups. Come along for the ride – discover how different instruments sound and work, and meet the musicians who play them. This fun and interactive matinée is ideal for kids age 6 and up - and for adults too!

Please note: this performance does not include the full orchestra and is not included in the Symphony Under the Sky weekend pass.		 ATB Family BBQ
Immediately after Family Matinee performance, join ESO musicians as they serve up a picnic in the park! We'll have tasty hamburgers, hot dogs and cold beverages for sale. All proceeds support ESO Education Programs. BBQ supported by Royal LePage Noralta.
