Since 1997, Monday Morning Concerts has placed professional, world-class musicians, dancers, and actors in an intimate educational setting with children, ages five through eleven. Monday Morning Concerts consist of a performance, a brief history lesson on the musical and cultural style being presented, and a question and answer session with the performers. Often children are invited on stage to be part of the experience.
