Bring your students on a field trip to our beautiful theater to see a live performance of the music, dance, and storytelling of cultures from around the world!
Students experience the magic of live performance in a theater when they come to Symphony Space for a Global Arts Music, Dance & Storytelling performance. These live performances showcase traditional cultural art forms that rarely share a stage, from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Native America. All performances are highly interactive and provide opportunities for students to join performers onstage to learn a dance or play an instrument!
Attending classes receive a Resource Guide to prepare students for the performance. These guides include performance descriptions, and suggested pre- and post-show activities with prompts in English and Spanish.
Global Arts Music, Dance & Storytelling performances will be held on the days listed below from 11 AM to 12:15 PM.
Enroll to attend a 2026-2027 Global Arts Music, Dance & Storytelling performance HERE.
