More with Midcoast: January 2025
Join us for these More with Midcoast events in January!
Meet the Instruments
In keeping with the focus on youth for this concert, each concert will be preceded by the popular “Meet the Instruments” event, at which audience members of all ages can try many instruments featured in the symphony’s performance. MSO musicians will be present to provide instruction and guidance on how to play their instrument.
This event begins one hour before each of the two concerts – at 6pm in the Heritage Hall at the Franco Center and at 1:30 in the gym at the Mt. Ararat Middle School (where the Orion Performing Arts Center is located). Interested members of the public may attend "Meet the Instruments" without purchasing a concert ticket.
- January 18, 6:00 pm, Franco Center Heritage Hall
- January 19, 1:30 pm, Orion Performing Arts Center Gym
Adults who accompany a child to the concert following “Meet the Instruments” may receive up to two complimentary tickets to the concert: fill out and submit this form before January 13 to reserve complimentary tickets.
