The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra has a family-focused concert on Sunday, October 25, with performances at 1:30 and 3 p.m. Halloween, Hogwarts & More includes John Williams's Harry Potter music, other spooky orchestral pieces and participation from Dad's Garage. The orchestra describes the concert as a 45-minute introduction to live symphonic music designed for children under 12.
The preconcert activities are part of the appeal. Families can explore instruments, make crafts and use photo booths before taking their seats. That can be a better first orchestra experience than asking a child to sit through a two-hour evening performance without context.
Check the official ASO page for the remaining ticket inventory. The two Sunday showtimes make it possible to fit a cultural outing around sports, errands or another fall event.
