CONCERT SCHEDULE 

An unequivocal musical prodigy, singer-saxophonist-songwriter-composer and band leader Grace Kelly has rocked the jazz world with sold-out concerts, 14 acclaimed albums and a resume that includes performing at the Hollywood Bowl and as part of the house band for “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” – all before reaching her mid-twenties.

The Community Music Department partners with Symphony Tacoma to present this concert as part of the Mini Maestros series for children ages 2-8 years old and their families. "Once Upon a String" is a family-friendly, interactive music concert featuring Symphony Tacoma's String Quintet and Shay Ray, emcee.   

Travel with the symphony's string quintet to a land far, far away during a fantasy-filled introduction to the instruments in the string family!
