Into the Music: Mahler Symphon­y No. 1

Your family is invited to experience classical music in a welcoming, accessible way. This event pairs an engaging on-stage conversation with a full orchestral performance of Mahler's First Symphony. The discussion happens first, giving everyone—whether you're new to classical music or a devoted fan—a chance to learn more about the work before hearing it performed live. Maestro Jun Märkl will lead the conversation alongside Ryan Ahlwardt, co-host of Indy Now on FOX59. Best of all, this entire experience is completely free. It's a wonderful introduction to the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra for families curious about live classical music, and a great outing for anyone who already loves orchestral performances. No tickets needed—just show up ready to enjoy an evening of music and community at the Hilbert Circle Theatre.
