Ansbacher chose to commission a piece specifically for children to introduce younger generations to classical music and stimulate imagination. This is the second of two Concerts for Children, being presented by Boston Landmarks Orchestra. The first performance will be held on July 17 at 10:30a.m. and 12 Noon at Shirley-Eustis House, Roxbury.
Through its children’s concert series, the Orchestra is one of the few performing arts institutions in the country to commission new works for young people that both teach a history lesson and introduce youngsters to the orchestra.
The Boston Landmarks Orchestra’s mission is to present high quality professional orchestral music for free to diverse audiences that include residents of and visitors to Boston. Last year, over 50,000 people attended the Landmarks Festival at the Shell, which will take place this year every Wednesday at 7pm at the DRC’s Hatch Shell on the Esplanade.
