The Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra (WCO) presents the fall Family Series concert Sharing is for EVERYONE! on Sunday, Oct. 6, with a 2 p.m. performance in the Rotunda of the Overture Center for the Arts. This short, interactive concert is free to attend and geared toward children of all ages. Between shows, children can explore crafts and an instrument petting zoo featuring string instruments from the performance.
The 30-minute interactive family concert is inspired by the children’s book Thank You, Omu! by Oge Mora, which celebrates generosity and the spirit of community. A wind quintet will play selections from Trois Pièces Brèves by Jacques Ibert, followed by a reading of Thank You, Omu! The concert ends with Darius Milhaud’s La cheminée du roi René.
Editor’s note: An earlier version of this story announcing two performances, at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m., rather than just one performance at 2 p.m., has been updated.Â
