It’s a musical winter wonderland when a woodwind quintet celebrates cold-weather animals like penguins, polar bears, seals and walruses with music by Beethoven and more.

The Music Box Series is a unique music program for young children ages 6 months to three years old and their families. Each performance features pre-concert activities hosted 30 minutes prior to the show by the BSO and partner organization Ready-at-Five, a non-profit that works to ensure that all Maryland children are ready to learn by age five. The wide range of pre-concert activities will encourage literacy, creative play and musical skills.
