As each story unfolds, a professional Waterbury Symphony musician performs live, using music to bring characters, emotions, and important moments vividly to life. 

 

After every program, children meet the instrument, ask questions, and participate in a hands-on, interactive Instrument “Petting Zoo”, exploring members of the string, brass, or woodwind families.
