This family-friendly event is a rare opportunity for the public to experience a Kinder Konzerts on a weekend.  Come early to experience the kid-friendly lobby activities that FRIENDS will present throughout Orchestra Hall. Books, colorful caps, T-shirts, and stuffed toy monkeys will be available for purchase.
