NEC Prep Family Concert: SUPERKIDS
Jordan Hall
Free - Ticket Required
In-Person Event
Open to the Public
SUPERKIDS is a family concert that celebrates the extraordinary “superpowers” every child carries within. When these gifts are nurtured with care and encouragement, they shine in ways that inspire us all.
This event invites our youngest audience members to dream boldly, reach higher, and believe in their limitless potential. At the same time, it gently reminds parents, caregivers, and all adults of the profound joy and responsibility of lifting up the next generation. SUPERKIDS rekindles the wonder, imagination, and playfulness that live inside each of us, no matter our age. It’s a heartfelt reminder that when we support our children and keep our own sense of magic alive, we all thrive.
2–2:45 p.m. | Pre-Concert experience at the NEC Welcome Center (33 Gainsborough Street)
Join us for arts and crafts, build your own baton, conducting lessons, sing-along with Phil Berman, and family time!
3:00 p.m. | Concert in Jordan Hall (30 Gainsborough Street)
This concert delivers a vibrant musical adventure for the whole family - babies, grandparents, and everyone in between! Designed as an energetic and fluid experience, it invites the audience to move, participate, and feel the power of music in a relaxed, joyful atmosphere where everyone is part of the action. The one-hour, no-intermission format keeps the experience seamless and engaging, giving families uninterrupted moments of connection, discovery, and shared fun.
