Relive the wonder of your favorite wizard and other beloved adventures in Harry Potter and the Magic of Music. Run through the halls of Hogwarts, ride a Hippogriff across the black lake, and waltz along with cinderella and her prince as the PSO transports you to the Highlands of Scotland and further into a world of magic.

Discovery Concerts bring the whole family together to enjoy the music of the PSO. Concerts are approximately one-hour long and take the audience on a mind-expanding and educational journey with the full orchestra! Doors open at 1 PM for an hour of games, a hands-on Instrument Petting Zoo, and lots more musical fun!

DESIGNED FOR AGES 4-12, BUT ENJOYABLE FOR ALL!
