Symphony Space in NYC continues to amaze me with their stunning programming for children. I’ve written about them in the past, and I’m happy to tell you about the upcoming seasson, they are offering the Just Kidding series and Thalia Kid’s Book Club, a cornucopia of family-friendly performances and author events. From September through May, Symphony Space continues their tradition of offering New York families ground-breaking programming from around the U.S.At the end of September, they’ll be featuring the FREE Secret Mountain Sunday celebration concert (Sunday, September 25th), featuring Trout Fishing in America, Connie Kaldor and Michelle Compagne (the latter two are Canadian performers). Note that in your diary!Starting in October, they have great offerings for you and your children:
October 1, 11 am and 2 pm (Thalia): The Story Pirates — This zany-smart NYC based troupe creates musical sketch comedy, comprised entirely of stories written by kids. Jon Stewart is a fan of their award-winning shows, which have been described as “Monty Python meets Schoolhouse Rock.”
- October 8, 2 pm (Thalia): Women of the Calabash –– Combining traditional instruments, lush vocals, and musical forms with contemporary influences, this musical group has enchanted audiences of all ages for 20 years, performing music from Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Black America.
October 15, 11 am: (Sharp): Galumpha — Combining stunning acrobatics, striking visual effects, physical comedy, and inventive choreography, Galumpha transforms three human bodies into one floating, flying, and gravity-defying piece of art.
October 22, 11 am: (Thalia): Cat and a Bird — With catchy beats, a variety of instruments and animal-themed lyrics, Cat and a Bird delivers a fun musical experience for kids with style that older siblings and parents can enjoy. “Out with the Kids” describes their sound as “beautifully strange, Eastern European-gypsy lounge dinner party music.”

I would love the tickets. I like exposing my daughter to different music and art.
Woman of the Calabash seems right up our alley. It would be perfect present for my daughter since she was just invited into the company class at her dance school.
I’d love these tickets.
