Music for young audiences
Annual Family Concert
ON SHELTER ISLAND
PMP’s Summer Music School Director Merry Peckham, along with students, fellows and faculty, introduces the world of classical music through popular songs, fun skits and colorful costumes.
After the concert, young audience members enjoy refreshments and an instrument petting zoo, with coaching from PMP students.
Petting Zoo Pop-Ups
Throughout the summer, we invite young aspiring musicians across Shelter Island to enjoy our instrument petting zoos. Come try a kid-sized violin, viola, cello or bass! You can find us at The Shelter Island Historical Society Havens Farmer’s Market and Sylvester Manor on select summer weekends.
MUSIC AND FUN AT THE LIBRARY!
PMP invites all ages to learn about classical music through playful songs and stories at these special concerts, in collaboration with the Shelter Island Public Library.
Lessons from the littles
Our Summer Music School students formed eight quartets and crafted wonderful videos for our young audiences far and wide. The results were delightful!
Produced by PMP faculty and alumna Mariella Haubs and the 2021 Summer Music School Students (“The Littles”)
