About this adventure

Classics 4 Kids, the San Diego nonprofit that has brought orchestra concerts to schoolchildren since 1994, holds its third annual family concert at the San Diego Museum of Art over Veterans Day weekend. The Classics Philharmonic Orchestra, led by conductor Dana Zimbric, plays an all-American program for all ages marking the 250th anniversary of the United States and the museum's centennial, with works by Aaron Copland, Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, Ferde Grofé, Gwyneth Walker and John Williams, an Armed Forces Salute for Veterans Day, and 'The Stars and Stripes Forever' and 'The Star-Spangled Banner'. Images of American masterpieces from the museum's collection are projected during the music, so children can watch as well as listen. The concert lasts one hour in the museum's James S. Copley Auditorium. Ticket holders get free admission to the museum the same day by showing their concert ticket at admissions, so families can make an afternoon of it in the galleries.
