PURCELLVILLE, VA — The Loudoun Symphony Orchestra will present its “Discover the Orchestra: Safari!” concert at 4 p.m. on Saturday, January 18, at Woodgrove High School (36811 Allder School Road, Purcellville, VA).

Conducted by Loudoun Symphony’s music director, Hayden Denesha, this one-hour full-orchestra animal-themed concert is designed to introduce children to classical music in a low-pressure and fun setting. Arrive early at 3 p.m. for face painting, craft making, and to touch and try musical instruments at the Instrument Petting Zoo provided by Music & Arts. The musical safari includes music from “Carnival of the Animals” by Camille Saint-Saëns, highlights from “Jurassic Park,” and “The Shark Theme” from “Jaws,” both by John Williams.

The program is underwritten by Northwest Federal Credit Union. Concert tickets are $20 for adults and $5 for students. Sponsorship has made it possible to provide free tickets to anyone who has a need. Tickets may be requested by emailing [email protected]. Tickets are available for purchase through Eventbrite.

Now in its 34th season, the mission of the Loudoun Symphony is to evolve as a premier regional symphony through artistic excellence by providing a variety of programs that enrich, educate, engage, and entertain the community. To carry out this mission, a full season of five concerts will be presented by the Loudoun Symphony Orchestra.
