Goldilocks and the Three Bears are visiting Symphony Center

Music meets magic at Once Upon a Symphony

By CSO Once Upon a Symphony March 5, 2024

Produced and presented in partnership with Chicago Children’s Theatre, Once Upon a Symphony: Goldilocks and the Three Bears invites families to rediscover the magic of this cherished story. When young Goldilocks stumbles upon a quaint cottage and goes inside to explore, she has no idea it belongs to three bears who are on their way home. With this classic story as a guide, young audiences are invited to experience the wide and wonderful world of the forest through Goldilocks’ eyes and playfully explore some of the responsibilities that come along with growing older. Once Upon a Symphony is designed to introduce children ages 3 to 5 to the world of classical music and the musicians of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, combining vibrant music, storytelling and enchanting visuals to create the perfect first concert experience.
