Cincinnati Symphony offers Young People's Conerts which is similar to Concerts for Kids, put on by SF Symphony and something we've taken part in for the past 6 years. Our 1st was when mom and dad spent a summer in SF (thank you Dr. Speight ). I don't know where I heard about Concert for Kids, but the thought of taking the girls (then 1 and 3) to hear the SF Symphony for $2.50/ticket was right up our alley!! We went to the concert and then took Kaley to Laurel Heights to buy her first pair of walking shoes. Fast forward 6 years (almost) and we found ourselves sitting at Music Hall, listening to the Cinci Symphony. I took the girls out of school (I was a bit worried, not knowing if it was okay...only to find out that it is common that people take their children out of school for Reds' Games) and we went to our first concert in Ohio! Here, they add a couple of things, which we liked; 1) they have a screen which shows art of the time in which the composer was living 2) they showcase a student musician, who plays with the symphony (we heard a violinist who is 15 and has played violin for 10 years) and 3) they expose the audience to other forms of music...in this case, they had a Soprano, born in China who has been singing opera since she was 13. She is now performing in NY. It was a great experience and in March, dancers from the Cinci Ballet will dance while the symphony plays. We'll definitely be there for that one!!!

Soprano singer- Her dress was beautiful. Ainsley was concerned that the opera singer's singing (in Italian and Russian) was going to break the crystal on her watch.
