Because the orchestra is a youth symphony and the setting is a lawn rather than a concert hall, it is an easy first orchestra concert for children: families spread out on blankets or lawn chairs, and young listeners can watch players not much older than themselves. The city asks guests to bring their own chair or blanket, as there is no fixed seating. Gates open at 6 PM and the music begins at 7 PM, so arriving at opening time leaves room to settle in, find a spot with a view of the stage and have a picnic before the first piece. Admission is free. The evening ends after dark, so a light jacket for children is a good idea in November. ## Similar picks in Phoenix - [A Musical Beginning — Metropolitan Youth Symphony at Mesa Arts Center](https://grassyknees.com/phoenix/activities/a-musical-beginning-metropolitan-youth-symphony-at-mesa-arts-center--listing-daa8a7fb4fcb187c454f0485) — Wed, Nov 4 · 6:30 PM · Mesa Arts Center — Tom and Janet Ikeda Theater · From $9.75 · checked Oct 30.
