Bring the whole family for an afternoon of musical discovery, imagination, and fun at the Wilmington Symphony’s annual Young People’s Concert, specially designed for children ages 6 and up! Before the music begins, explore the Instrument Discovery Zone in the Wilson Center lobby starting at 2:30 PM—a hands-on, interactive space where kids can learn about and even try out the instruments they’ll see on stage. From the bold brass to the shimmering strings, it’s a chance to get up close and personal with the magic of orchestral sound.

"Come and be a part of a special night celebrating our local poets! It's an evening dedicated to connection, showcasing the profound love for the art of poetry and spoken word within our community. Our wonderful hostess, Carrie Assata, will curate a smooth and intimate vibe, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience. Meanwhile, Dj MisStory will be on the ones and twos, spinning tunes to create a fantastic atmosphere for the evening. Join us for a night filled with creativity, expression, and the beautiful resonance of local voices. Let's celebrate the richness of our community's poetic spirit together!"
