The Cambridge Symphony Orchestra’s annual Family Concert is a chance for music lovers of all ages to enjoy a variety of classical music for the whole family.

Join our orchestra musicians for several family-friendly favorites, including a Star Wars medley and Nathaniel Stookey’s The Composer Is Dead for narrator (Ian Judge) and orchestra—a musical whodunnit with text by Lemony Snicket.

To appeal to a diverse audience of children (including those on the autism spectrum), this concert will contain sensory-friendly elements—including reduced lighting, and parents are welcome to bring anything (coloring books, tactile objects, etc.) that would help their children enjoy an hour of music. A “quiet room” will be available for those who need it, and attendees may dance in the aisles or use noise-reducing headphones if they choose. Braille programs will also be available.

Our Spotlight Partner for this concert is 3LPlace. 3LPlace empowers young adults with autism and other developmental disabilities to reach their individual potential, to follow their passion, and to live meaningful lives in the community.

The Cambridge Symphony Orchestra thanks the Massachusetts Cultural Council for supporting our 2021-22 season. In addition, the CSO is grateful to the Cambridge Community Foundation for its contributions to making this concert possible.
