Big Umbrella Festival-Very Young People’s Concerts: “Make Believe”

Presented By: The New York Philharmonic

Relaxed Performance

Musicians from the New York Philharmonic invite you on a playdate—where musical instruments are toys, songs become games, and we can make believe whatever our hearts desire! Join Philippe the Penguin and host Rebecca Young to make new friends and share in the fun of music.
