Want to take your kids to see some of Seattle's excellent classical music offerings? Seattle Symphony has a new program to help you do it for free.
The Symphony's new Family Connections Program offers two free tickets for kids ages 8-18, with the purchase of one adult ticket, for concerts that are part of the Wyckoff Masterworks Series.
The next Wyckoff Masterworks concerts are tomorrow through Saturday, April 5-7. Get details and ticket information.
The Family Connections program is the brainchild of Ludovic Morlot, the Symphony's new Music Director, who is strongly committed to making symphony experiences more available to families. (Among other things, he conducts the Symphony's Discover Music! series.)
