Concerts for Kids 2024

Take Me Out To The Symphony! Experience the All-Star line-up of your Illinois Symphony Orchestra at our Concerts for Kids, led by conductor Jacobsen Woollen. We'll race around the track with the William Tell Overture, stretch it out in the 7th inning with Take Me Out to the Ballgame and learn the true meaning of sportsmanship with an athletic version of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony. 

Wear your favorite team's gear and come root, root, root for your home orchestra!

Jacobsen Woollen, Conductor

Parking

Activities in the adjacent downtown, campus, and residential neighborhoods mean that traffic and parking congestion can occur, especially at our most popular events. See more information and view a map of the parking lots surrounding the BCPA.

Busing
Busses will line up along East street on the east side of the BCPA and drop off students as they reach the front of the line. The students and teachers will enter through the front doors of the BCPA, where they will be greeted by Ushers who will escort each group to their seats.
