Guided by a music educator, teenagers come together to experience selected concerts. Before the main event, there are interactive workshops or age-appropriate concert introductions to get them ready. The journey wouldn’t be complete without a peek behind the scenes and a chance for a personal meet-and-greet with the artists.
