Last Lollipops Concert Until Fall! Don't Miss Out!

I highly recommend the Charlotte Symphony Lollipops concerts.  We have taken our kids since they were tiny.
Starting at 10:00 kids can explore, touch, and play instruments of the orchestra.  They can also join in drum circles, make their own instruments, and do coloring pages.
The concert is designed specifically for kids.  There is usually a story, puppets, dancers, or something else engaging.  This one will have dancers.  Since it is for kids it is a great opportunity to teach your child about the orchestra without worrying too much about a little noise or having to leave for the bathroom.
