St. Louis Symphony Orchestra

Isata Kanneh-Mason, whose playing has been called “calmly commanding” and “unfailingly subtle” by The New York Times, makes her SLSO debut in a recital with music inspired by nighttime and daybreak. From the timeless opening notes of Beethoven’s “Moonlight” sonata to Dobrinka Tabakova’s starlight-hued Nocturne and Ravel’s haunting Gaspard de la Nuit (Gaspard of the Night), in the hands of Kanneh-Mason, the piano travels from sparkling to moody and contemplative.

Powell Hall

Giraffes can’t dance…yet. Learn and grow with Gerald the Giraffe as he overcomes challenges, discovers his talents, and finds music that inspires him to dance. The SLSO brings Gerald’s heartwarming journey to life with a playful performance where kids are invited to make music and find their own beat. Based on the book Giraffes Can’t Dance, written by Giles Andreae and illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees, this interactive performance is perfect for little listeners with big imaginations.

Concerts for Kids
