Musical Instrument Petting Zoo
Saturday, October 26, 11:30am - 1pm, Helms Theatre
Free

With a soaring melody or an image-invoking sound effect, films come to life. Soundtracks introduce characters, create moods and emphasize plot lines. Meet the instruments of an orchestra one-on-one and try making sounds that remind you of your favorite movie in a hands-on Musical Instrument Petting Zoo. With help from UVA music faculty, students and community members of the Charlottesville Symphony, miniature Mozarts and budding Beethovens – and grownups – can hear, see, touch and play many different instruments found in the orchestra.
