Family Matinees 2012–2013: Listen and Learn Together!
These hour-long events on weekend afternoons introduce audiences of all ages to new and established artists, and provide opportunities to ask questions and interact with performers. This season, many established Family Matinee artists will be joined by younger colleagues, demonstrating that it’s never too early, or too late, to get involved in the arts.
