Inspector Pulse Takes His Pulse!
Sun, Mar 16, 2025, 2:00 pm
Alice Tully Hall
1 hour, no intermission
The world’s greatest and only private ear, Inspector Pulse, inspects his own pulse and discovers the rhythm of life—the heartbeat! This leads him to explore stethoscopes and metronomes as well as a marimba, and concepts like tempo, beat, and polyrhythm!
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.
All patrons, including small children sitting in laps, must have a ticket to enter. All performances are appropriate for ages 6+ as long as guests are not disruptive to other patrons' enjoyment of the performance. Please be aware that anyone causing a disturbance during a performance, regardless of age, will be asked by an usher to leave the hall.
