Discover the storytelling power of classical music as NJ Symphony partners with Girl Scouts Heart of New Jersey for this family-friendly and sensory-friendly performance designed for all ages. This one-hour concert, preceded with an hands-on Instrument Discovery Zone, explores Beethoven's "Pastoral" Symphony, a fascinating work that depicts very specific scenes and storylines. Inspired by Leonard Bernstein's masterful way of putting young audiences at the center of music-making, this interactive concert will feature inside tips, listening cues, and fun facts that make for the perfect Saturday afternoon troop family outing! A special fun patch is included for all Girl Scout youth. This event fulfills Step 1 of the Council's Own Newark Badge.
