All attendees, regardless of age, must have a ticket. Children under 7 must be accompanied by an adult. Accompanying adults must also have a ticket.

Children 1 year old and under will be admitted for free, but they do require a ticket to help us manage attendance and be sure we don't go over our maximum allowed capacity.

A limited quantity of free tickets will be available.

March 10: Space is the Place with Rochelle Rice
Bandleader, multi-instrumentalist, and musical genius Sun Ra forever changed the way we think about music and expression. In this exciting session, vocalist, composer, and teaching artist Rochelle Rice will lead explorers on a musical journey that is out of this world!

March 24: Bloomin' with Billie with Rochelle Rice
Kids and caregivers will be singing and swinging with Rice in this interactive exploration of the life and music of one of the most influential singers of our time, Billie Holiday.

April 7: Flavoring the Melody with Seth Kibel
A central ingredient in all forms of jazz is improvisation, or spontaneous composition. In this program, Strathmore Artist in Residence mentor Seth Kibel will demonstrate how jazz musicians take familiar melodies from nursery rhymes to movie themes and make them their own.

April 21: I’ve Got Rhythm with Seth Kibel
Rhythm is a fundamental part of jazz. In this session, Kibel will teach rhythmic patterns on various percussion instruments and get your family moving. Enjoy the tunes of Duke Ellington, let the music inspire your moves, and learn how your movement can steer the music in new directions!
