SSO Baby Prom
We went to our very first Singapore Symphony Orchestra performance yesterday and guess what? We could bring our babies!
I’m not a orchestra or classical music type person but this was FANTASTIC. The whole of Victoria Memorial Concert hall filled with cheering kids and parents, unlike the shhhhs of normal concerts. The host was very engaging and the entire orchestra were in t-shirt and black pants. There were babies fussing, kids running around, balloons on stage etc..
The performance included an introduction to all the sections, action games, a story with the accompaniment of the orchestra, a chance for the kids to conduct the orchestra and ended with a finale that allows all the kids to get onto stage to stand next to their fav musician/instrument! So fun! But parents not allowed to go on stage.
But we made our way to the front of the stage to enjoy the fun too. Sophie enjoyed it very much. She was bobbing to the music and clapping. But most of the time, she was more interested in the boy behind us. The audience seemed more interesting to her.
It’s a yearly event and we are definitely reserving our tickets for the next one. By the time we got our tickets in Sept, there were only a few left! Good thing our friend’s bro is in the SSO and he had access to priority tickets.
