## About

Introduce children to the wonder of live orchestral music with the Seattle Symphony's holiday presentation of The Snowman in the S. Mark Taper Foundation Auditorium at Benaroya Hall. The heartwarming Academy Award-nominated animated film is projected on the giant cinema screen while the full Seattle Symphony orchestra performs Howard Blake's evocative musical score live below, including the beloved song 'Walking in the Air.'

Beginning one hour prior to each performance, the grand lobby comes alive with free interactive family activities, including instrument discovery petting zoos where children can touch and try violins, brass, and percussion under musician guidance, plus holiday craft stations and photo backdrops. The performance runs a child-friendly 60 minutes with no intermission, designed especially for families with young children and grandparents alike.
