Idaho Falls Symphony: Let's Meet Mozart

The Idaho Falls Symphony holds a kids concert every year. Clark and I heard about it in time to get tickets for the family to go and check it out. They have an "instrument petting zoo" beforehand, where the children get to see, hear, and play some of the instruments used in the ensemble. We went straight for the strings and percussion, since that's what we own the least of. Adelaide loved touching all the instruments and got to play the violin, cello, and xylophone.

The concert itself was so fun! They played some of Mozart's best known music and even had a guy dressed up as Mozart, speaking with the conductor about some of the history and stories behind the pieces. They included the audience by doing things like "raise your hand when the band plays loudly and lower it when they play softly." That was Azucena's favorite part. :D

I hope we can make it next year!
