Designed for children ages 13 and under but open to all, Opening Notes concerts spark imagination and make learning about music feel easy and exciting. Developed and led by Salonen Conducting Fellow Mert Yalniz, this lively 40-minute performance combines music, storytelling, and participatory theatrical adventure as performers bring an engaging story to life onstage at Colburn's very own Zipper Hall. These performances feature lighting effects and sudden noises. A sensory-friendly breakout space will be available for children who wish to step away from the performance as needed. No prior musical experience is required; just come ready to listen and explore! This performance will be livestreamed.
