Event Information

Reading Symphony Orchestra returns for its ever-popular Children's Concert, this year featuring The Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns. Let us show you how the different instruments of the orchestra can sound just like animals from around the world! There'll also be the chance for little ones to see some of the instruments up close after the concert.
