Step into the magical world of The Nutcracker with A Far Cry and discover the Sound of Movement — how music can tell a story and make us want to dance!

This special Little Criers edition brings Tchaikovsky’s beloved ballet to life in a relaxed, family-friendly setting at the Substation. Designed for children ages 3–8 and their grown-ups, this interactive performance invites everyone to listen, move, imagine, and create alongside members of A Far Cry, Boston’s Grammy-nominated, self-conducted string orchestra.

Free! Pre-registration encouraged as space is limited.
