Music you’ll love, traditions they’ll never grow out of, and memories that last.
We believe the journey to a lifelong love of music begins early—and grows with your family. The Sherman Foundation BSO Family Collection includes Music Box Series and Family Concert Series, each designed for our youngest patrons. Most enjoyed by kids ages 8 and up, Symphony Explorers provide a backstage experience at select BSO concerts.
In addition to the Kids Listen Free program, the new Families Listen Together ticketing program provides two adults and up to four children tickets to all Family Concerts and Music Box along with discounts on all BSO Collections, and special access benefits.
