Philharmonic Families: Strings
About This Event
Doug Fitch leads Philharmonic Families: Strings at David Geffen Hall, joined by musicians from the New York Philharmonic and soprano Rebecca Young. Fitch, known for staging family-focused programs that introduce young listeners to orchestral instruments, treats performance as a total visual environment; here the orchestra’s strings and Young’s operatic voice anchor a theatrically minded, educational presentation.
