Family Fun

The Philharmonic Center for the Arts is a fun place to visit with your family!  Come hear the orchestra during our Family Fare series, listen to the holiday sounds sung by the Youth Chorale during Holiday Pops, or watch the dancers performing The Nutcracker. These are just a few annual events that are perfect for a night out with your family. Please contact Bonnie Thayer, Director of Education, at (239) 254-2643 or e-mail bthayer@thephil.org. to find out what other performances will be fun for your family!

Magic Carpet Concerts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Magic Carpet Percussion Ensemble

The fun-filled Magic Carpet Concerts are a popular Philharmonic Center tradition. Each of these events features a small ensemble from the Naples Philharmonic Orchestra performing an all-new 45-minute program — demonstrating their instruments and answering questions from children and their adult escorts. This annual series is primarily for children ages 3-9 but can be enjoyed by everyone.
