Rhymed ball in the orchestra

**Rhymed Ball in the Orchestra** Immerse yourself in an unforgettable interactive experience as the orchestra comes alive through playful rhyme. Based on Benjamin Britten’s *The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra*, Op. 34—a 1946 educational masterpiece that even graced the Oscar‑nominated film *Moonrise Kingdom*—this program turns instrument lore into lyrical wonder. Led by charismatic host Máté Hámori, each section of the big orchestra is revealed with clever rhyme, answering questions such as “Which instrument chirps?” or “Which carries a steely, brutal tone?” The show uncovers the hidden story behind every instrument and the role of the conductor, bringing the music’s architecture to vivid, entertaining life. A lucky spot in the audience will even get to stand at the podium and conduct the orchestra in a surprise rehearsal. Join us for a night of discovery, delight, and the full orchestra’s enchanting harmony—your ticket to experiencing music as it is meant to be heard. [Details & tickets]
