BRUNSWICK — The Portland Symphony Orchestra will perform KinderKonzert programs titled “The Story of Abbie Burgess” at 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Freeport Performing Arts Center, as well as at 9:30 a.m. and 10:20 a.m. Thursday in Crooker Theater at Brunswick High School.
The concerts are geared to children between 3 and 7 years old.
“‘The Story of Abbie Burgess’ tells the true tale of a courageous young girl who tended Maine’s Matinicus Rock lighthouse on her own, braving the treacherous month-long Nor’easters throughout the winter of 1856,” a PSO release states. “Her strength and determination attracted much attention and she became a renowned local heroine.”
“Children are encouraged to sing, dance and wiggle while they listen and watch the orchestra members tell the inspiring story of Abbie Burgess,” the release continues.
The April series features the string instruments.
Tickets cost $4 per person for adults and children. For more information, reservations and ticketing information, visit www.portlandsymphony.org, email education@portlandsymphony.org or call 773-6128 extension 308.
