Have you ever gone to a concert and wished you could just get your hands on one of those cool instruments up on stage? Now is your chance. The "instrument petting zoo" Hunterdon Symphony will have immediately after their Concert for Young People on Saturday, February 11 was planned with kids in mind, but You can come, too. Members of the Symphony will be on hand in the lobby of Clinton Township Middle School after the concert to assist potential musicians of all ages in getting "up close and personal" with instruments like the ones they have just seen in the performance. Try holding that trumpet or flute you always thought you might like to play. And go ahead: try making a sound. The cello and violin are going to be a bit small for you (yes, it really was planned with kids in mind), but you can get some idea what it would be like to play those, too.
So, after the concert, bring your kids over to "the zoo", but don't be shy about asking if You can try that instrument you've always dreamed of playing, too.
The concert (Cloudbursts, Twisters, and Thunderstorms: A Concert for Young People) takes place Saturday, February 11 at 3:00 pm at the Clinton Township Middle School, 34 Grayrock Road in Clinton, NJ. (The snow date is Sunday, Feb.12 at 3:00.) The "zoo" will take place in the lobby directly after the concert. Instruments for this event are on loan from Hunterdon Musical Instruments, Inc. in Flemington. All tickets for this concert are $5.
