At the MacPhail Free Family Music Series, not only can the whole family enjoy a great concert, but can also take a free sample lesson on the instruments featured and take part in a music-themed art project.
Music is an important part of our lives…it’s everywhere! That’s why this particular event is a great way to introduce kids to music and instruments.
The MacPhail Free Family Music Series takes place on two different dates, the first of which is this Saturday, March 26 from 10 am – 12 pm with performances by Tryptich.
The centerpiece of this series is a live concert. Before and after each concert, the musicians will give free sample lessons to kids and adults on the instruments featured in the concert.
Sing Play Learn with MacPhail® staff will also be on site to engage families in a music-themed art project. Light refreshments will follow the concert.
These events are FREE and take place at Antonello Hall on the MacPhail Minneapolis campus. If you can’t make it this weekend, mark your calendar for May 7 (The Jolly Pops).
Tryptich showcases a variety of energetic percussion pieces that will excite young children and families, encouraging them to keep a beat and move around. The band is made up of MacPhail Percussion Faculty– Paul Babcock, Cheryl Berglund, and William Arnold.
There will be two 30-minute performances. Each child can make a handmade instrument that they may bring into the concert with them. On the way out, they will receive a MacPhail grab bag.
Attendance is free. No tickets needed. Masks are required at all times inside MacPhail. (Does not apply to children under two.) Please respect CDC social distancing guidelines as you move throughout MacPhail.
