The Concert for Kids is back for 2023 with a blend of holiday music to get you excited for the winter season! This year the concert will feature the entire OM Performing Arts Department (Band, Choir, Guitar, Dance, Piano, Orchestra and Theatre), guest readers from WBAL Radio, and a visit from Santa!
The Family Matinee is designed to keep our younger audience members entertained. With stories and a visit from Santa, your younger children will delight in the spirit and music of the holiday season.
The Holiday Pops evening concert is an expanded version of the Family Matinee. Filled with holiday readings by our friends from WBAL radio, as well as an expanded selection of holiday music, this concert is sure to fill you with joy.
