Spooktacular Sounds

Get ready for a spine-tingling, toe-tapping, hair-raising good time at Spooktacular Sounds! This interactive Halloween concert brings the magic of music to life with playful, eerie, and exciting tunes that celebrate the season. From ghostly classical pieces to jazzy, whimsical Halloween favorites, this concert is designed to delight, surprise, and engage audiences of all ages.

Music has a way of setting the scene—whether it’s the mysterious, creeping notes of In the Hall of the Mountain King or the playful mischief of Danse Macabre, every piece tells a story. Spooktacular Sounds invites children and their grown-ups to listen, move, and even join in the music-making, experiencing firsthand how composers use rhythm, melody, and harmony to create chills, thrills, and laughter.

Of course, no Halloween celebration is complete without costumes! Little ghouls, goblins, superheroes, and witches are encouraged to dress up and join in a festive musical costume parade with the performers. Expect plenty of interactive moments and a bewitching blend of familiar and unexpected tunes that will have everyone swaying, clapping, and maybe even howling along!

Whether you’re looking for a not-so-spooky way to celebrate the season or just want to introduce your little one to the fun of live music, Spooktacular Sounds is the perfect way to experience the magic of Halloween through music.
