DESCRIPTION
Bring the whole family for an evening bursting with music, imagination, and summertime fun! Kick things off with classic American treats—hot dogs and root beer floats - before stepping into the magical world of Classical Kids Live and their nationally acclaimed production of Tchaikovsky Discovers America.

With the full Festival Orchestra led by the dynamic Andrew Litton, this vibrant theatrical concert tells the heartwarming story of Tchaikovsky’s 1891 visit to America, the opening of Carnegie Hall, and an unexpected friendship with a young girl named Jennie. Through playful storytelling, dancing, and more than twenty-five iconic musical excerpts, from The Nutcracker to Swan Lake, from the 1812 Overture to the First Piano Concerto, the performance brings the composer’s world to life in a way that captivates audiences of all ages.

5:30 PM: Hot dog dinner
6:30 PM: Concert
