Delight as our Lolli-Pops characters Bow the Panda, Toot the Bird, Buzz the Bee and Bang the Lion – each representing a different section of the Orchestra – playfully assist Mr. Maestro in teaching the ABC’s of music!


Your child will meet the instruments of the string, woodwind, brass and percussion families as they visit a musical sweet shop and get to know “how the drums Bang, how the brass Buzz, how the winds Toot, and how the strings Bow.” Who knew that giant gumdrops turned upside down looked like timpani drums or that a huge tootsie roll standing on end resembled a bassoon! Have your child join in the fun and conduct along as the concert comes to a rousing end!
“… a New York tradition known for its outstanding gifts of music to audiences of all ages.” – ABC-TV
