The New Albany Symphony Orchestra brings live music to the community through a variety of concerts and events each season. In addition to free outdoor concerts, ticketed events, and inclusive events, they have continued to make symphony music safe and accessible to kids and adults.
Sensory-Friendly Series
Saturday at the Symphony Sensory Friendly concerts are designed for those on the autism spectrum, our friends in the dementia/Alzheimer’s community, or for those audience members needing a more relaxed concert experience. Performances are never longer than an hour and include pre-concert lobby activities when possible.
During these concerts, audience members can move around, talk and BYO reinforcements and motivational systems. House lights will be turned on but dimmed, and “chill-out” zones, will be available in the lobby for those needing a break. See details about COVID safety precautions.
