The ISO's Teddy Bear Concert Series is made for children ages 3 to 7: a narrator and a small group of Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra musicians tell one of the series' original picture-book stories, written by retired ISO violinist Victoria Kintner Griswold, and introduce real orchestra instruments along the way. During the 30-minute program children move to the music, interact with the players and get a chance to try a real violin. Stuffed animals are welcome, the concerts are free and open to the public, and this one needs no registration. Teddy Bear books are sold at each performance. ## Similar picks in Indianapolis - [Teddy Bear Concert: The Big Note — Mooresville Public Library](https://grassyknees.com/indianapolis/activities/teddy-bear-concert-the-big-note-mooresville-public-library--listing-981563f398e2c26dc7749ec1) — Sat, Nov 7 · 11:00 AM · Mooresville Public Library · Ages 3–7 · Free · checked Oct 24.
