2025-26 Rug Concert Series
Host Betsy LeBlanc and friends share what makes their instruments special. Celebrating 10 years, this family-friendly concert series is specially designed to introduce instruments to our youngest listeners. Each concert features instruments from the woodwind, brass, and percussion families and invites audience members to move, clap, and sing. Join us for one or all of this season’s concerts.

“Ed and I took Audrey to this one! […] She sat on my lap; was enthralled to bits; followed the music and movements; touched the instruments. All in all a great hour for her and us!” – Lina Soliman Plantilla
This music series is for our youngest concertgoers. Rug Concerts introduce small children to instruments, singers, and composers in an intimate and child-friendly setting. This interactive concert format allows youngsters to experience classical music in a special way. Each 45 minute concert features 4-5 different instrumentalists and vocalists who perform and introduce their instruments. At the end of the concert, children have the opportunity to go up to meet the instrument and the musician.
Are you planning to join us for our next Rug Concert? If so, explore and sing along with “The Hello Song” and “The Goodbye Song,” which we will sing together at the concert!
The Hello Song
The Goodbye Song
To ensure an intimate and child-friendly setting, seating is limited.
