Overview
Bring the whole family for an afternoon of musical discovery, imagination, and fun at the Wilmington Symphony’s annual Young People’s Concert, specially designed for children ages 6 and up!
Before the music begins, explore the Orchestra Discovery Zone in the Wilson Center lobby starting at 2:30 PM—a hands-on, interactive space where kids can learn about and even try out the instruments they’ll see on stage. From the bold brass to the shimmering strings, it’s a chance to get up close and personal with the magic of orchestral sound.
Then at 4:00 PM, enjoy a 50-minute concert that introduces young audiences to the excitement and wonder of live symphonic music. With engaging narration, energetic performances, and plenty of surprises along the way, this is a perfect first concert experience—or a delightful tradition for returning families.
Whether you're a budding musician or just curious about what makes an orchestra tick, the Young People’s Concert is a joyful celebration of music made just for young listeners—and those young at heart!
This program is brought to the Wilson Center by WILMINGTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, not affiliated with Wilson Center Presents or Cape Fear Community College.
