Melrose Symphony Orchestra

I went to the children’s concert in April 2103. Seats were $ 3 for kids and $ 10 for adults. Really? Yes, really. For less than the cost of a movie, you can hear a symphony!
They played about 5 numbers and had an instrument discussion /​break down session to explain all the instruments, hear what the different instruments played for a certain piece, and then they put them all together again.
Also, before the show started they hosted an «instrument petting zoo» where the kids could play and touch all the instruments and talk with the orchestra members. It was a wonderful performance and experience… and in Melrose! I bought my mom tickets to their next performance in May. We will definitely be going back. I’ve lived in the area my whole life and can’t believe this is the first I ever heard of this volunteer orchestra… in their 95^th season!
