Little Orchestra Society to Present Live Concert At Little Island Park

It's time to make some noise again as The Little Orchestra Society returns to live performances and introduces children to the exciting world of percussion music with their kid-approved program Things That Go Bang outdoors at Little Island's Amph stage, NYC's newest public park on Saturday, July 10 and Sunday, July 11 at 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm.

The hilarious Professor Treblemaker takes on Emeril and whips himself into a frenzy trying to discover who's been removing all the pots and pans from his kitchen. Bam, bam as a celebrity chef would say, the missing culinary items have been refashioned into instruments, and they're cooking up some hot and spicy tunes!

This lively percussion-based show will get Little Island's tiniest audience members jamming out and making music in their seats as they shake their sillies out with boxes of Maraca-roni; twirl; like strands of spaghetti to the sounds of Prof. Treblemaker's newly invented "GlockenSPILL", and ingest fun musical lessons on how to make your own kind of music from objects found in your home.

Performed by musicians from The New York Percussion Group, "Things That Go Bang" teaches all ages about sounds and rhythms through an interactive, orchestral concert performance featuring four percussionists and a pianist. Get ready to see instruments big, small, and unusual! Guided by Professor Treblemaker and Conductor David Alan Miller, this musical concoction is sure to inspire you to take the stage yourself!
