Sensory Friendly Family Concert

〰️

Sensory Friendly Family Concert 〰️

After the huge success of our inaugural Sensory Friendly concerts in April of 2024, the SFCO is excited to present our second year of these programs, specifically designed with our neurodivergent community in mind.

What does that mean? ALL are welcome and every type of engagement with the music is encouraged. We’ll refrain from sudden loud sounds, our All-Star String Quartet performs at a beautifully pleasant volume, we'll have a basket of fidget toys, and the seating will create plenty of space for movement and expression.

The instruments of the string quartet will be introduced and we'll present a variety of musical styles ranging from classical gems to popular favorites. And for extra engagement, throughout the program we'll have fun, hands-on activities for those who wish to participate.

Our concerts are always Admission Free! Please RSVP so that we know you're interested!
