Make Music Indy

Teddy Bear Concert Series with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra

The Teddy Bear Concert Series is designed specifically for children ages 3-7, introducing them to the instruments of the orchestra through storytelling, movement, and live music. Join musicians from the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and a narrator as they introduce instruments from the symphony orchestra through the original story 'The Runaway Strings' written by ISO violinist Victoria Kintner Griswold. Young children will have the opportunity to move with the music, play real violins, and interact with ISO musicians at each 30-minute program! During this program, we will be reading The Runaway Strings, an adventure-filled tale of a quartet of string instruments who run away to search for adventures to bring home to their audience by making themselves into different forms of transportation. Young children are invited to move along to music, listen to a story, and watch five musicians from the ISO perform. The Runaway Strings introduces the violin, viola, cello, and french horn!
