The big game is on—meet all the teams of the Orchestra and cheer on your favorite! Will it be the strings, brass, woodwinds or percussion that wins the day? “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” Olympic fanfares and classics from Mozart and Mussorgsky will make it feel like you’re sitting on the third-base line with a hot dog and your favorite beverage. |

| LEMONY SNICKET’S “THE COMPOSER IS DEAD” |
|
|
Where exactly were the violins on the night in question? Did anyone see the harp? In this perplexing murder mystery, everyone seems to have a motive, everyone has an alibi and nearly everyone is a musical instrument! But the composer is still dead. Join the Inspector as he sniffs out clues and interrogates all the suspects. Can you solve the mystery before he does? |
