Fiddlesticks concert for young listeners, with conductor Andrés Franco and vocalist Corrie Stallings.
Fiddlesticks: Once Upon a Melody comes to Heinz Hall on Saturday, November 14, a concert put on specifically for young listeners. If you've got kids at home and you're looking for a way to get them into a concert hall without it feeling like a chore, this is exactly that kind of afternoon.
The program is built around Fiddlesticks, a family-friendly introduction to the orchestra. The whole thing is led by conductor Andrés Franco, who'll be on the podium, and vocalist Corrie Stallings, who'll be singing. Between the two of them, they'll guide the music and the audience through the performance, making it more of an interactive experience than a sit-still-and-listen kind of show. It's designed to be accessible, so it works just as well for a first-timer as it does for a kid who's already started lessons.
Since it's aimed at young ears, the atmosphere is meant to be welcoming rather than formal. You don't have to worry about the usual concert hall etiquette—the whole point is to let kids hear the orchestra and get a feel for how it works. It's a good way to spend a Saturday afternoon in downtown Pittsburgh with the family, and it's a low-pressure introduction to live classical music.
