The Cleveland Orchestra’s season of Family Concerts began with a fun-filled program in late October titled “Halloween Spooktacular III.” The series continues in 2013 with “Symphony Under the Sea” on Friday evening, March 8, led by conductor Robert Franz — including favorite musical numbers from Disney’s The Little Mermaid. The series closes with “Fables, Fantasies, & Folklore” on Sunday afternoon, May 12, led by conductor Michael Butterman — in an exploration of music storytelling and fun. Intended for children ages 7 and older, the series is designed to introduce young people to classical music. The Halloween program included favorite musical hits and also featured a costume contest for audience members. The Orchestra musicians onstage also got into the “spirit” of the occasion with many theme-related outfits. In addition to each one-hour Orchestra concert, the Family Concert Series features free, pre-concert activities, including an “Instrument Discovery” in which children can try playing various instruments.
