Tulsa Children’s Museum Family Concert Series
by Allyson Jannott

Get ready to boogie down, dress like wild animals and sing catchy tunes that both you and your kids will enjoy – we are proud to announce Tulsa Children’s Museum’s (TCM) Family Concert Series.
The slate of three concerts begins in September and tickets for all three concerts are on sale now.
TCM concerts will truly be fun for all because we chose artists of different genres that the whole family can enjoy.
After surveying over 400 Tulsa parents, the TCM board of directors came up with a fantastic line-up: Trout Fishing in America, Ralph’s World and a Symphonic Safari with the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra.
And that’s not all – the excitement starts the moment you walk in the door. Show up early because before and after the show, kids can enjoy fun and educational activities that relate to the theme of each concert.
At the Trout concert in September, kids can fish for recycled materials and build their own instruments with TCM’s Reclaim This! Old Stuff, New Art traveling exhibit.
Before and after they experience pop music at the Ralph’s World winter concert, your children can pop bubbles with our POP! The Art and Science of Bubbles exhibit.
And start thinking of your favorite animal because at the spring concert with the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra, you and your kids can show up dressed as that animal. And to add a little pizzazz to your outfits, before and after thee show, you can complete your costume with parent/ child animal face painting.
The Tulsa Children’s Museum concert series will be held at the John H. Williams Theatre at Tulsa’s Performing Arts Center in downtown Tulsa.
The TCM board is committed to keeping prices low so all families can enjoy this experience. In addition,10 percent of the ticket sales will be donated to families in need.
Tickets go on sale August 1, 2008 and can be purchased at the PAC box office 918-596-7111 or on-line at www.tulsapac.com. They are – get this – $10 each for Trout and the Symphony, and $12 for Ralph’s World – making it just $32 for the entire series. And — just like the airlines – children under age two can sit on your lap and are FREE!
Stay tuned for future TulsaKids’ articles with details about the artists.
