Come dressed in your favorite costume and discover how music can tell spooky stories, create magical moments, and spark the imagination. Through familiar Halloween favorites, classical masterpieces, and interactive activities, audiences will learn about the instruments, meet the musicians, and experience the excitement of live chamber music up close. Children will be invited to participate throughout the performance, making this a hands-on musical experience filled with laughter, surprises, and plenty of Halloween fun. Whether it’s your child’s first concert or a family tradition, Halloween Spooktacular is the perfect way to celebrate the season together. Recommended for children of all ages - and the grown-ups who enjoy sharing the wonder of live music.

Who's playing

Boulder Symphony, a Boulder orchestra with its own music academy, presents the concert with a string quartet and piano. The musicians talk with the audience about their instruments and how music can tell spooky stories. The concert is presented in collaboration with Voices West.

What to expect

Expect a hands-on show rather than a formal recital. The program mixes familiar Halloween tunes with classical masterpieces, and children are invited to join in activities along the way. It runs about an hour, and the audience sits close enough to the players to see how the instruments work. Grace Commons is a church in central Boulder, and its sanctuary hosts concerts like this one.

Why go

This is a gentle first concert for young children, and an easy family tradition for older ones. Kids get to meet the musicians and dress up, while adults hear live chamber music up close. It suits a Halloween outing that is more music than candy.
