Music Director Michelle Merrill, a parent herself, shared her enthusiasm for the event: “This concert is designed for families to experience the magic of live music together. It’s such a joy to create something where both children and adults can share in the excitement and imagination of the music and story.” The concert was inspired by Karen LeFrak’s award-winning children’s book ”Sleepover at the Museum,” which tells the charming tale of Mason and his friends embarking on a scavenger hunt during an unforgettable birthday celebration at a museum. LeFrak, recognized as one of Good Housekeeping’s 10 Amazing Women in the Arts Over 50, later transformed the book into a multimedia musical experience, combining story and symphony.
