We're so glad that you're joining us for “We’re HEAR at the Kimmel: A Sensory-Friendly Concert.” This concert is designed to create a welcoming environment for children with sensory sensitivities and cognitive and learning differences, as well as anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed environment.
You will be invited to sing along (don’t worry, we’ll teach you!) on Hannibal’s “Hymn for the World,” to conduct the “Radetzky” March from your seats, and to perform on Tan Dun’s Passacaglia: Secret of Wind and Birds. This last piece weaves together the ancient sounds of birds with modern technology, including you and your smartphone. Instructions below:
