Quintet Attacca:
The Mystery of the Missing Musical Clock

Saturday, February 25
10 a.m.
Free   Reservations

A special winter family concert series presented in partnership with Rush Hour Concerts

Each week in this three-part series, a new theme will introduce young music enthusiasts and their adult companions to basic musical concepts and help them get to know the woodwind family by solving The Mystery of the Missing Musical Clock on February 26, choosing a Quintet Idol winner on March 3, and playing Where in the World is Quintet Attacca? on March 10.

Families may attend all or choose one; then, after each concert, a special treasure hunt will be available for young guests to explore the museum. As space is limited, reservations are recommended.

The Mystery of the Missing Musical Clock

Kids will help Quintet Attacca solve the mystery by trying to figure which quintet member stole the clock. The program features musical “opposites” of high and low, fast and slow, and soft and loud. Music selections span from American composer Thomas Benjamin to Paul Hindemith of Germany and Astor Piazzolla of Argentina. The quintet will present each musical term as part of a clue to the solution. Who stole the clock? Only the kids can figure it out!

Next week: Quintet Idol! Click here for more details or to make reservations.
