Hear the beloved works of Felix Mendelssohn and Anton Bruckner, alongside the exciting compositions of young composer Hilary Purrington. It's a program that will have you tapping your toes and feeling the power of music in all its forms!

Tickets for the performance range from $28 to $69. Kids 17 and under get in free thanks to M&T Bank, Symphonic Series Sponsor. This is the perfect opportunity to introduce your little ones to the wonders of live orchestral music.

Free Family Fun: Painting Pictures with Sound

But wait, there's more! Before the big concert, the Binghamton Philharmonic Orchestra is hosting a free Family Symphony Session: Painting Pictures with Sound on Thursday, November 14th at 6:30 pm at the Broome County Forum Theatre.

This fun and interactive session is designed for children ages 3 to 14 and their families. Learn how composers use music, just like artists use paint, to create amazing pictures in our minds. You'll even get to learn a traditional Scottish folk dance and watch the orchestra warm up for their rehearsal!

Family Symphony Sessions are completely FREE thanks to the Avangrid Foundation and IBM Endicott. They're a fantastic way for families to spend quality time together while exploring the world of music. Plus, first-time adult concertgoers attending the session will receive FREE ticket vouchers for the "Thresholds" concert on November 16th (remember, kids always attend the Philharmonic for free)!
