Alice Tully Hall
75 minutes, no intermission
What's easy to play and very dramatic? SILENCE! Some of the most exciting moments in music are completely silent! Who knew? The fearless Inspector investigates the mysteries of silence...very quietly!
For children who are curious, they can try out instruments featured in the program at our Instrument Petting Zoo from 1:00–1:50 PM, guided by CMS performing artists and teaching artists. Children will also have the opportunity to talk to the artists, ask questions, and take photographs at the Meet the Artists! booth prior to the performance from 1:00–1:30 PM.
To ensure adequate safety and capacity, all attendees for this event, regardless of age, need a ticket. This includes children that will be sitting in a guardian's lap during the performance.
