The Story of Music!

Everyone loves music and everyone loves stories! Children of all ages and their families are invited to the Family Concert and Music Fair for a magical journey into the Story of Music. With the lovable, exuberance of Professor Felix von Forte as host, audiences will be transported into different worlds of music and stories.

This annual event draws people from all over the Jackson community for an afternoon of fun and educational musical activities. The fair returns to Jackson High School, making full use of its newly renovated spacious facilities.

The Jackson Youth Symphony will perform and discuss the music in a unique concert giving audiences a rare look into the world of music making. Music from the stories of Harry Potter, Star Wars and old legends will be presented.

A Jackson Symphony Music Fair favorite, Gemini will also be performing in an exciting, rousing show that will thrill audiences, young and old!

Special! If a child comes to the event in a Harry Potter costume, they are eligible for great prizes held in a drawing!

n addition to the performances, participants will have the opportunity to explore deeper into the world of stories and music. This journey will take them through hands-on instrument demonstrations and fun interactive music labs. The children will be able to try out a variety of orchestral instruments with demonstrations by the Jackson Symphony musicians. Instruments in the trial rooms will be from the four main instrument families: Strings, Woodwinds, Brass and Percussion.

The music labs are full of activities that teach the fundamentals of sound and music and how they are used to tell a story. Participants are able to make their own instruments and learn how to tell their own stories with them. Local musicians and storytellers round out the fun-filled afternoon.

This will be an afternoon you won’t want to miss! Bring the entire family and receive discounts. For further ticket information, please call 517/ 782-4133.
