Purchase Tickets

PSO’s Music Director Eckart Preu and the Portland Ballet join together to bring your favorite classic children’s tales to life. Come early for an hour of Pre-Concert games, adventures, and Portland’s largest costume party.

Starting at 1:00 PM, Maestro Preu will lead hands-on conducting lessons at our Podium Hero. In another room, our PSO musicians will share the different orchestra instruments and give lessons of their own at a hands-on instrument Petting Zoo. Come mingle throughout the adventure zones and explore as the mood strikes you. The 50-minute concert starts at 2:30 PM. Costumes are encouraged!

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