ROCO Rooters
Sponsored by the Alvin and Lucy Owsley Foundation and Gretchen and Andrew McFarland

Bring your whole family to our concert and let the kids explore the world of music. Our popular music education/childcare program for kids between 2 months and 10 years runs during and after concerts at St. John the Divine. Kids enjoy fun music and art instruction, a trip into the concert hall (for ages 5-10), and an option to stay for pizza and movies after the concert, allowing parents (or grandparents!) to go out for a post-concert dinner.
