BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA — Two enchanting stories will come to life when a woodwind quintet from your Space Coast Symphony Orchestra present another installment of the popular Once Upon an Orchestra musical series for small fry. 

Designed for preschool and kindergarten aged children, the 40-minute outdoor story time includes “Wonderland,” inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and the “Bremen Town Musicians,” a story by the Brothers Grimm.

Featuring the instruments of the woodwind family, including the flute, oboe, bassoon, french horn, and clarinet, this fun program is sure to entertain. The program will be narrated by Space Coast Symphony Orchestra Artistic Director, Aaron T. Collins. At each event, youngsters will receive a free copy of the Once Upon an Orchestra coloring book.

The musical program for children is free, with regular admission to McKee Botanical Garden. The Once Upon an Orchestra series is funded through a grant by Indian River Impact 100, an organization of women dedicated to impacting the community through transformational giving. (*Due to Covid-19, there will be no instrument petting zoo or interactive photo booth for this program).
