Instrument petting zoo

On Saturday, July 10, Wisconsin Public Radio hosted an Instrument Petting Zoo, featuring members of the Wisconsin Youth Symphony and WPR Classical Music hosts in a hands-on activity that introduced children, both young and old, to musical instruments. Children of all ages were invited to see, touch, hear, and play the instruments under the tutelage of Wisconsin Youth Symphony protégés.
