Cleveland Orchestra's PNC Musical Rainbow Concerts On Stage At Beck Center

In partnership with The Cleveland Orchestra, the Beck Center for the Arts proudly presents a series of two PNC Musical Rainbow concerts designed specifically for preschool children on Saturdays, January 21 and April 28, 2012, on the Mackey Main Stage.

Children ages 3 to 6 years will enjoy this fun, interactive way to learn about the instruments of an orchestra. Children have the chance to sing, clap, and move to the music as they have fun learning all about instruments during this 30-minute program. The Cleveland Orchestra's PNC Musical Rainbow concerts are sponsored by PNC and the PNC Musical Rainbow Series is endowed by the Pysht Fund.

Please join us at the Beck Center on Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 10:30 a.m. for The Tricky Trombone. This concert, featuring trombonist Ed Zadrozny, will introduce young listeners to this intriguing instrument in a special west side Musical Rainbow concert. Actress and singer Maryann Nagel hosts this 30-minute program for young children, which includes narration, demonstration, short solo selections, and audience participation.

Mark your calendars now for the second concert in this series, Percussion Partners, on Saturday, April 28, 2012 at 10:30 a.m., also hosted by Nagel and featuring percussionist Mell Csicsila who will acquaint children with the wonderful world of percussion.
