Concert Adventures
For Early Childhood
About Us
About
Concert Adventures for Early Childhood was founded in 2014 by Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra violinist Victoria Kintner. The programs have reached over 10,000 families through live performances at libraries, schools, hospitals, and performing art centers. Her 5 programs introduce 18 different instruments from the symphony orchestra and have been narrated by Perry Accetturo.
Our Mission
Concert Adventures for Early Childhood introduces the instruments of the symphony orchestra through fun interactive programs, books, and videos so young children can experience the educational, developmental, emotional, and social benefits of music.
