Music Programs for Kids

On Saturday April 30th at 2pm the San Francisco Symphony is holding a special performance for kids.  The performance will "explore how music like Stravinsky's The Firebird and Beethoven's Sixth Symphony can elicit feelings of excitement and fear, happiness and curiosity."  They'll also have exhibits from the Exploratorium available for kids.  The performance is one in a series designed for kids called "Music for Families".  For more information check out SFSymphony.org/mff.
