AUSTIN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA PRESENTS:

HALLOWEEN CHILDREN'S CONCERT

OCTOBER 20 | 3:00 P.M. | THE LONG CENTER

CHILLS AND THRILLS!

It’s creepy, crawly and so much fun it’s spooky! Your little ghost or goblin will help haunt Long Center’s Dell Hall for Austin Symphony Orchestra’s annual Halloween Children’s Concert.  This exciting concert features frightfully fun symphonic music that is stimulating for young eyes and ears (ages 2-10).

This season, your ASO will feature The Composer is Dead a riotous collaboration between composer Nathaniel Stookey and children’s author Lemony Snicket (aka Daniel Handler) that combines two elements of great storytelling: music and suspense. ASO Assistant Conductor Pablo Zamora will lead the orchestra through this gripping murder mystery where every member of the orchestra is a suspect!

The mysterious whodunit gets underway with Pre-Concert Activities for Kids at 2:00 pm on the Long Center’s H-E-B Terrace, including musical and Halloween crafts, games, and an Instrument Petting Zoo. A one-hour narrated concert will follow, starting at 3:00 pm in Dell Hall.

Come in costume—many members of the orchestra will too. Don’t forget to enter our Spooktacular Costume Contest—prizes will be awarded onstage during the concert, including for The Scariest, The Most Original, and “Best-Dressed Dead Composer.”
