ONU will host an interactive family music concert in the Freed Center for the Performing Arts at 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 6. The event will be preceded by an “instrument petting zoo” at 2:30 p.m. in the Freed Center lobby. Tickets are $10 per family and $5 for individuals. 

The concert activities have been designed for preschool through early-elementary students, but entire families are welcome. Audience members will sing, move and listen to the music of Beethoven while learning about the instruments and exploring musical elements.

This event is presented by the Ohio Northern Symphony Orchestra, directed by Dr. Travis Jürgens, assistant professor of music, and assisted by Dr. Terri Brown Lenzo, assistant professor of music education, and ONU music students.

The Freed Center box office is open Monday through Friday from noon to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Phone orders are accepted with American Express, MasterCard, VISA or Discover by calling 419-772-1900.
