Kia ora koutou audience members, We look forward to you joining us for NZ Barok's Free Kids’ Concert at ŌMAC (Ōtara Music and Arts Centre) on Saturday 24th July at 2.30pm. We'd like to share a few things about the Baby Baroque concert. We would encourage you upon arrival to record your visit to ŌMAC using the NZ Covid Tracer app. The concert is very interactive with lots of opportunities to join in. The story and music is most suitable for children aged 0-6 years . Shakers and scarves are given out to the children to use during the performance and have to be given back at the end. To ensure a high level of health and safety all shakers are cleaned and scarves washed between performances. If you'd like to buy a shaker and scarf set to take home at the end of the performance these will be available to buy. To ensure the best experience for children and family members the majority of audience members will be seated on the floor of the auditorium. Feel free to bring a cushion if you would like to. There will also be chairs for those who are unable to sit on the floor. Please leave pushchairs/strollers either in your car or with our venue team as you enter who will look after them. Bringing in car seats/capsules for babies is completely fine. The concert itself is approximately 40 minutes long with another 20 minutes available to then try out a little instrument, talk to the musicians and see the instruments up close. We encourage audience members to arrive early to find parking as the concert will start on time at 2.30pm. We are really looking forward to seeing you all at the concert! If you need any help at the concert please talk to our venue management team at the front door. A big thank you to Auckland Council Regional Arts and Auckland Council Creative Communities NZ for their support. Ngā mihi Helen Brinkman NZ Barok: Producer/ Cellist
