Families
When families participate in the arts together, these shared experiences create bonds, memories, and traditions that sustain an appreciation of the arts which lasts for generations. At SPAC, we offer interactive experiences with the arts that appeal to all members of the family, including family-oriented performances, events, and workshops.
Performances for Young Audiences
“A great way to build a future generation that appreciates classical music.”
-Parent Testimonial
Our mission to cultivate an appreciation for the classical arts in our community begins with our youngest and most impressionable audiences. Each summer, we present special morning and afternoon performances for families with young children that are designed to inspire the imagination and ignite the creative spirit.
Previous program offerings at SPAC have included:
The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s “Meet the Music” program
The Philadelphia Orchestra’s “Sound All Around” program
“Story Time Concerts” with Project 440
