About

Calling all vampires, werewolves, mummies, and goblins! Get a head start on Halloween and come dressed in your spookiest costume for this "spirited" Sunday afternoon concert event. Emil de Cou and the NSO will be wearing their own trick-or-treat outfits as they perform music from Bride of Frankenstein, the Harry Potter films, King Kong, and more. It's guaranteed to be a ghoulish good time! For ages 7 and up.

Come Early for the Musical Instrument "Petting Zoo"
Starting an hour before each Concert Hall performance, this event gives young concertgoers a chance to get up close and hands-on with the instruments they'll see played professionally on the stage--from violins, flutes, and clarinets to trumpets and percussion!

The Instrument "Petting Zoo" is a project of the Women's Committee for the National Symphony Orchestra.

Kids' Chats  
Following each of the 3 p.m. performances, young audience members can ask questions and hear engaging stories in an up-close-and-personal talk with the concert artists.
