Heroes! Family Concert

This Saturday, February 16, the Sacramento Philharmonic will present their HEROES! Family Concert for all ages! What an awesome opportunity to introduce kids to the symphony in a super fun way!

Who is YOUR hero? An astronaut, a sports star, an action figure? Or how about someone you know like a teacher, a friend, or a family member?

Join the Philharmonic on an exciting musical journey as we celebrate and honor all kinds of heroes, real and make believe. You’ll hear the Superman March, Star Trek Through the Years, Suite from Disney’s Mulan, and more! The highlight of the program will be a tribute to President Abraham Lincoln, featuring Aaron Copland’s Lincoln Portrait, narrated by Mark S. Allen and Ashley Williams from Good Day Sacramento and Mark at the Movies. Children of all ages will be sure to smile with delight as they listen to great music, learn about the instruments of the symphony orchestra, and perhaps discover the hero within.

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
