Lights! Camera! Symphony! Relaxed Performance

Discover the orchestra through film music

ASO Relaxed Concert: This concert is for children with additional needs and their families

This concert has been carefully developed in partnership with Can:Do 4Kids, The Foskett Foundation, Beyond Bank, Access2Arts and Tutti Arts to provide a sensory-friendly environment for families of children with a range of sensory, communication and learning needs.

The concert includes:

• a visual storybook you can download before booking tickets
• break out spaces and adjusted lighting
• an Auslan presenter
• advice from the concert presenter on whether the next piece is loud or energetic, so that children can either go to a break out space or put on headphones if they need to
• adjusted seating including bean bags, rugs and cushions. There is plenty of space to move around or leave the room without interrupting other people or their experience

A Visual Storybook has been created to help prepare you and your family for this ASO concert experience.
