Symphony Storytimes

An innovative partnership between the Oregon Symphony and the Multnomah County Library System brings music and literature together during library storytelling times for pre-schoolers and their parents. Storytimes feature musicians from the Oregon Symphony performing music that enhances and deepens the storytelling experience.

(Video length: 1:18)

Each storytime features one of the four families of musical instruments: strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. A craft session where children make their own instruments out of common household items and an instrument petting zoo follow the storytimes. Children and their parents also receive a specially made bookmark with suggested reading and recommended CD's featuring the storytime instruments.

We are now visiting libraries in Washington County – Look for us in the Sherwood, Beaverton and Hillsboro Public Libraries this year.
