Today, Kaufman Music Center announces three performances with The Rock and Roll Playhouse, the largest national concert series for families where kids can “move, play and sing while listening to works from the classic-rock canon” (New York Times). Featuring the music of The Beatles, Taylor Swift, and David Bowie for kids, this concert series promises to provide an enriching opportunity for children and parents to experience the music they love together, in a joyful environment, and have fun during the coldest months in New York City.

Aside from exploring their creativity while dancing to live music from curated local bands, attendees can expect complimentary healthy and delicious snacks from Daily Crunch and Lesser Evil, interactive activities for play, stories, and the opportunity to rock out. This event is ideal for kids between the ages one to seven.
