orKIDStra: Spooktacular Sounds

Conducted by Jake Taniguchi, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra presents a playful, not-too-scary introduction to live symphonic music. The program features selections from Star Wars, Coco, Hansel and Gretel, Harry Potter, Symphonie fantastique, and K-pop Demon Hunters. Families can enjoy the festive music together while seeing both musicians and fellow audience members dressed in costume.
