It's time for the family reunion at Symphony Hall and the instruments are starting to arrive! Here comes the Brass family - what a blast, and the String family always gets here early so they can sit in the front!

Join Maestro Luigi and his trusted baton for a multi-media study of the instruments of the orchestra like never before!
