Imagine spending your birthday at the museum!
The Museum of Natural History is Mason’s favorite place to visit and he can’t wait to celebrate his birthday with a sleepover there, but first he has to scout for the best place to spend the night. Join Mason and his friends for a musical and scientific scavenger hunt through the many exhibits that make any museum special in this National Symphony Orchestra concert with projections, music, and story by Karen LeFrak based on her book of the same name. The program will be narrated by CNN Legal Analyst Laura Coates and will also feature John Williams’ “Nimbus 2000,” a magical tune from the Harry Potter film series.
