The Santa Barbara Chamber Players will present Fly Me to the Moon, a family-friendly educational concert, 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 30, at First Presbyterian Church, 21 E. Constance Ave.

The community event is designed to introduce children, students and families to the world of live orchestral music and hands-on music education.

Conducted by Michael Nowak, Fly Me to the Moon is a live music and multimedia experience that chronicles the evolution of flight through the ages, bringing the story to life through orchestral repertoire, projected imagery, and narration that celebrates imagination, innovation, technology, and the arts, organizers said.

The one-hour performance features works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Ludwig van Beethoven, Maurice Ravel and John Williams, creating a musical experience for audiences of all ages.

The concert opens with an introduction to the families of instruments in the orchestra, offering an accessible and interactive glimpse into symphonic music.

Following the performance, children and families can try the instruments demonstrated during the concert. The instrument exploration station is provided by the Santa Barbara Symphony’s Music Van Program.

With guidance from members of the orchestra, the audience can explore the instruments they have just seen and heard, creating a hands-on experience that sparks curiosity and a lasting love of music.

For many children, the experience is their first opportunity to hear a live orchestra and to try an instrument firsthand.

The program encourages participation in school and community music programs. It also removes barriers to arts education and inspires the next generation of musicians.

The Santa Barbara Chamber Players thanks sponsors of the Santa Barbara Bowl and the Performing Arts Scholarship Foundation who have made the concert possible.

Tickets are $10; free to those ages 18 and younger.
