Pajama Concerts

Pajama Concerts share classic children’s literature and live chamber music, performed on period instruments, in a relaxed and inclusive setting.

Blankets, pillows, and favorite stuffed animals are welcome. Sometimes there’s even a bedtime snack!

These 45-minute programs are designed with children ages 4-8 and their families in mind. Older and younger siblings are welcome of course!
