Mr Franklin Goes to Paris
You know he flew a kite in a thunderstorm... but did you know that Ben Franklin invented the Glass Harmonica? And he was America's first ambassador to France! Join us for a musical adventure as we discover some of the favorite music, dances, and stories of one of America's most amazing Founding Fathers. You may even get to meet and hear from Ben Franklin himself! Get ready to learn all about his colorful life, accomplishments, and contributions to American history in this 45-minute interactive musical program.
Arrive early at 10:00am to participate in a hands-on art-making activity inspired by the themes of the performance, presented in partnership with the Cleveland Museum of Art Community Arts Center! The performance will begin at 11:00am.
As always, Apollo's Fire Family Concerts end with our famous Instrument Petting Zoo, where kids get to meet the musicians and their instruments up close and personal!
