If you've always wanted a musical prodigy but aren't sure if it's worth the investment just yet, Strathmore is hosting an "instrument petting zoo" where kids can play with instruments from different families.
WASHINGTON — If you want your kids to be musical prodigies but aren’t sure if it’s worth the investment, the National Philharmonic is hosting a unique event before a Sunday concert at Strathmore.
At 3 p.m. today, famous violinist Sarah Chang — who was accepted to Julliard at age 5 — will be performing alongside internationally renowned pianist Santiago Rodriguez, who’s debuting his return to the D.C. area.
But before the concert, kids can enjoy an “instrument petting zoo” from 2-2:30 p.m. They’ll have the opportunity to experiment with string, wood, brass and percussion instruments before hearing what can be done with some (or a lot) of practice.
Tickets are free for kids aged 7-17 and $25-$82 for adults. They can be purchased from Strathmore’s website.
The free instrument petting Zoo is at 2 p.m. at Strathmore Hall Sunday Oct. 15 before the 3 p.m. concert.
