‘Philharmonic Playdates: Games and Toys’

Just think of the orchestra as one big collection of playthings, and the musicians as pals: That’s the philosophy behind the latest season of the New York Philharmonic’s Very Young People’s Concerts. Titled “Philharmonic Playdates,” the programs will woo children 3 to 6 with pieces that highlight the fun in music. This one features Dvorak, Leopold Mozart and Vivaldi, along with a story. Hands-on activities with the players will precede and follow each performance.
