Named after a former Central Oregon Symphony cellist with a passion for educating young people (and those young at heart), the Virginia Riggs Children’s Concert is fun, educational, and open to all.

Come early for the instrument petting zoo, where children can enjoy an up-close experience with the instruments of the orchestra as symphony musicians play them. There is also the opportunity to try your hand at different instruments and find out where you might have a hidden talent or passion! Afterward, stay for an interactive concert designed with kids in mind.

This event is held at Bend Senior High School and will take place Saturday, February 25, 2023, starting at 9 am with the instrument petting zoo with the concert starting at 10 am.
