SHIFT: A Festival of American Orchestras

Teddy Bear Concert: The Garden Symphony
Sat, Apr 14 • 9:30am & 10:30am

Busboys & Poets (Brookland Location: 625 Monroe Street NE)

The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra brings its popular Teddy Bear Concerts to Busboys & Poets’ Rise + Rhyme series, introducing preschool and kindergarten students (ages 3–7) to the orchestra through an interactive performance featuring story, movement, and live music. Featuring five musicians from the ISO and narration, The Garden Symphony follows a ladybug’s search through the garden for her own special song and explores how music creates a sense of place and home. Free and open to the public.
