PORTLAND FESTIVAL SYMPHONY TRADITIONS

Instrument Petting Zoo
The trademark of Portland Festival Symphony and true to it's name! Just like an animal petting zoo, elementary aged children are invited to come and inspect the instruments and meet the musicians in person! How does a musician vibrate a string to make a note? How does wind create music? Don't be afraid to ask.
