A MAGICAL WORLD COMES TO LIFE...
when your Grand Rapids Symphony and GRS principal percussionist Bill Vits present the classic Dr. Seuss story "Gerald McBoing Boing." With his drums, bells and fun noise-makers, Vits tells the story of Gerald, the boy who didn't speak words, but who made noises instead. This 45-minute musical story is a perfect introduction to music for children ages 3-6. A great first symphony experience, take the whole family.
