DESCRIPTION
Sponsored by Fox Pest Control 
Celebrate Halloween with a frightfully fun introduction to live orchestral music! Spooktacular Sounds features playful, not-too-scary music that will spark imaginations and keep kids engaged from the first note. Costumes are encouraged, and even your RPO musicians join the fun! Whether it’s your child’s very first concert or a favorite family tradition, this festive afternoon promises laughter, discovery, and magical musical memories for all ages.
Come early with your little ones for craft time! Starting at 1:00 PM, join us to create a rocking witch, a flying ghost, or a magic wand! New this year, you can create your own orKIDStra passport so you can document each orKIDStra concert with a special stamp.
RPO Recommends…
The next orKIDStra concert: Winter Wonderlands
The next family-friendly concert: The Nutcracker with Rochester City Ballet
