Named after a former Central Oregon Symphony cellist with a passion for educating young people (and those young at heart), the Virginia Riggs Children’s Concert is fun, informal, free and open to all. Come early for the instrument petting zoo, where children can enjoy an up-close experience with the instruments of the orchestra as symphony musicians play them. There is also the opportunity to try your hand at different instruments and find out where you might have a hidden talent or passion! Then join us for an interactive concert with visual, aural and occasionally physical audience participation. Be inspired by classical music and in learning to play a symphony instrument.
