Family Fun with Durham Symphony: A Musical Journey Through Animals and More
Get ready to embark on a delightful family musical journey with the Durham Symphony Orchestra (DSO) as they present a series of engaging concerts designed for audiences of all ages. From the whimsical tunes of 'The Carnival of the Animals' by Camille Saint-Saëns to collaborations with talented young musicians at Emily K Center, and a vibrant outdoor concert at Durham Central Park, these events promise a blend of classical masterpieces, popular music, and interactive experiences. Conducted by Maestro William Henry Curry, these performances are set to inspire, educate, and entertain.
Join the DSO for a light-hearted, interactive musical adventure with some of the most popular orchestral works in the repertoire, including The Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns!

You’ll find something for everyone to enjoy, from classical masterpieces to pop songs!
Music for the whole family with light classics and popular music are featured in this concert at the Emily K Center that serves over 2,000 Durham K-12 students on their college journeys. Gifted young musicians from nationally celebrated Kidznotes will sit side by side with DSO musicians sharing their joy in music and gaining invaluable experience from their professional colleagues in the DSO.
This free family concert of classical, jazz, and “pops” selections will also feature food trucks and an instrument petting zoo. The orchestra will perform under a pavilion with a large lawn, drawing crowds from the surrounding neighborhoods.
The Durham Symphony Orchestra's family concert series is more than just a set of performances; it's a celebration of music's power to connect people, educate young minds, and create lasting memories. With each event offering its own unique charm, families are invited to explore the wonders of music together, whether through the imaginative landscapes of 'Carnival of the Animals,' the collaborative spirit of the Emily K concert, or the vibrant community setting of Durham Central Park. Join the DSO in this musical journey and let music become a part of your family's story.
