How about a musical day out with the fam? Here are some fun, family-friendly concerts by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra to check out!
Are you a family of music fans? Or, want to introduce bub to the magical world of music and instruments? If either of these tick the box, you’ll be pleased to know that the Singapore Symphony Orchestra (SSO) has some family-friendly concerts lined up over the coming months! Don’t worry about keeping the kids quiet during these concerts, as the SSO welcomes families to let their hair down during the show – best news, ever!
1. For orchestra beginners: A musical journey through time with a songless bird
Once upon a time, there was a Gimquat bird who was sad because she didn’t have a song for itself. Thankfully, Griffle the Great, a magical musical wizard, offered to help the Gimquat find her unique voice. Together, the pair prepare to embark on a journey through centuries of musical masterpieces – and you and the fam are invited to join! Temasek Foundation SSO Concerts For Children: A Musical Tumble Through Time is an enchanting family concert featuring music from Mozart to Ravel, along with eye-catching costumes and colourful characters that the kiddos will love. This is the perfect concert for those who are looking to introduce their kids to the world of classical music!
When: 10 September (10:30am and 2:30pm) and 11 September 2022 (10:30am)
Price: $25 and $32; Family Bundle and 2-Concert Package available.

2. For the little ones: A concert where the kids call the shots
Imagine a concert where your kid could be chosen to be the conductor of the orchestra – that’s exactly what you can expect from SSO Babies’ Proms! The much-loved musical event for the littlest ones is finally making a return! Besides the main show, there’ll be an instrument petting area before the show just for the little kiddos to touch and feel the musical instruments which they’ll be seeing on stage. This will be held just before the concert, so be sure to come early to experience it. Just as the name suggests, babies are more than welcome!

Here’s a family game idea: See who’s the first to identify the song, bonus for guessing the correct movie, too!
