Winter Wonderland with the Minnesota Orchestra

Relaxed Family Concert
Sun, Jan 29, 2 pm
Orchestra Hall

From chilly jingling sleigh bells of the north to tango-tinged sunny southern sounds—winter-themed music from around the world offers a beautiful way to learn each other's traditions.

Minnesota Orchestra’s Relaxed Family Concerts are designed for audiences of all ages, including individuals with autism or sensory sensitivities. Each concert takes place in an inclusive environment where audience members are welcome to be who they are and enjoy music together with family and friends.

Program:

MORLEY
Snow Ride / 3 min

PROKOFIEV
Troika, from Lieutenant Kijé Suite / 3 min

PIAZZOLLA
Invierno Porteño, from The Four Seasons in Buenos Aires for Violin and Orchestra / 7 min

HO

A few things to know:

  • Winter Wonderland will feature a variety of music—some soft and some loud—because we know that different audience members like different levels of sound. Review our tip sheet (coming soon) to read about quiet spaces, noise-canceling headphones and other options which are available for tailoring the concert experience to fit your family's preferences.

  • Come early to participate in lobby activities, including opportunities to try instruments, engage in creative movement, make art, learn more about the program and meet Minnesota Orchestra musicians.

  • Prepare for the concert experience with our playlist, lobby map, pre-visit story and other materials available approximately 2-4 weeks before the event.
