Save the date, Saturday November 22, for great family fun at The Max.
The good times start at 10 am in the Music Box with 3 to 6 year olds are entertained by the Biakuye Percussion Group.
Starting at 11 am, two-time Grammy Award winner Evelyn Glennie will perform in Orchestra Hall for children ages 6 and older on a variety of percussion instruments, with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Lucovic Morlot conducting on Saturday.
Then, visit the atrium lobby for kid-friendly food, arts and crafts, balloon artists, face painters, and the Marshall Music Instrument Petting Zoo. The DSO musicians will be there, too.
Evelyn Glennie is known throughout the world as a classical solo percussionist. She is hearing impaired and performs in her bare feet in order to "feel" the music. She is famous for using many different instruments in her performances and is sure to delight the entire audience.
Ludovic Morlot is a French musician who has enjoyed great acceptance in the United States. He will also be performing with the New York Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony, the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, and the City of Birmingham Symphony. Morlot is known for working with young people. He was the Seiji Ozawa Fellowship Conductor at the Tanglewood Music Center with the Boston Symphony and was the BSO's assistant conductor under James Levine from 2004-07.
Mark Stone and the Biakuye Percussion Group are known for their "energetic" programming for children. Their melodic-percussion version of jazz celebrates both African and American cultures.
