Introducing the Phoenix Hatchlings
Phoenix’s cutest ensemble.
The Phoenix Hatchlings is an audience-participation program for our young audience members (elementary school-aged). The Hatchlings attend a Phoenix concert, leaving after the first set to join our Hatchlings clinician for rehearsal and games, and returning near the end of the show to perform a song they've learned on-stage alongside Phoenix!
To participate in the Phoenix Hatchlings program, please purchase a “Phoenix Hatchlings” ticket for your little one to attend our show. Snacks will be provided, alongside adult supervision and expert instruction from our music educators.
