Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra: making great music personal



family concert series

Unlock the magic of great music!

Just like a Harry Potter adventure, classical music transports you to a different world – one of drama and excitement with twists, turns and happy endings created through the range and power of orchestral sound.

LACO’s interactive family concerts open the door for kids to enjoy this magical sound world now and for the rest of their lives.

Share the joy as your kids and grandkids discover that classical music is cool.
Recommended for children 5 years and older

1 pm – 2 pm: Kids get to bang, pluck, bow and blow on real instruments at our popular Instrument Petting Zoo and enjoy fun-filled pre-concert activities, themed around the music, with Kidspace Children’s Museum and our concert partners.

2 pm: The concert begins. Our short programs are designed to introduce kids to the wonder of classical music. Each concert includes an opportunity for young ones to ask questions of the musicians.
