Presented by the Tetra String Quartet, Azure Family Concerts are free, one-hour, sensory-friendly performances designed for people of all ages with autism, developmental disabilities, sensory processing differences, and physical disabilities, along with their families and caregivers.Traditional concert settings can be challenging for audience members who communicate, regulate, or engage through vocalizations, movement, stimming, or other forms of participation. Azure concerts joyfully and intentionally welcome these behaviors, creating a warm, judgment-free space where every audience member can relax, participate, and feel that they truly belong. Family members and caregivers of all ages are encouraged to join in the fun!
This performance will feature Deanna Rusnock, accordion, and will be followed by an instrument petting zoo.
Move freely. Express yourself. Be you.
This concert will also be live-streamed on Tetra String Quartet's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/tetrastringquartet
