A festive event for children aged 5 and older, along with their families, each year the Bal des enfants is held under a different theme (Little Red Riding Hood, Pussn’Boots, Don Quixote, Robin Hood, etc.).

The one-hour theatrical concert not only introduces young people to symphonic music, but exposes them to various art forms (theatre, singing, dance, circus arts, etc.). Entertaining activities are held before the concert, which is followed by snack time for the whole family.

In 2022, the OSM will continue this tradition begun by Kent Nagano under our new Music Director, Rafael Payare. In addition to tickets sold to the general public, the OSM invites businesses to donate so that less privileged and sick children can enjoy this experience free of charge. The OSM succeeds in involving these families each year thanks to the collaboration of over twenty organizations.
