Sensory Friendly-Something Borrowed, Something True: What is American Music

Boston Symphony Orchestra
Thomas Wilkins, conductor

What is American music? Our national soundscape is rich in diversity: diversity of style, of language, and of cultural contexts. It is indeed this diversity that makes something "American." Together, we observe the beauty of unity as opposed to uniformity.

The show is designed for all families with children or adults with an autism spectrum disorder or sensory sensitivities. Come enjoy a performance with a flexible, non-judgmental environment. Modifications include relaxed house rules, reduced volume and lighting levels, extra space for movement, available noise-reduction headphones, designated quiet room and support spaces, modified food concessions, and credentialed autism therapist volunteers on site.
