FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas – Each spring, families across Fort Bend county enjoy FBSO’s free children’s concert.  This year’s performance is the family favorite, “The Teddy Bears’ Picnic”, on Saturday, April 6 at 2pm in the George Memorial Library in Richmond.

Children of all ages are invited to bring your favorite teddy bear to join in the fun.  Written in 1907, this music has delighted youngsters for well over 100 years.  Words were added to John Walter Bratton’s music by the Irish lyricist Jimmy Kennedy in 1932.  “The Teddy Bears’ Picnic” has been recorded by dozens of vocalists over the years, including Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Jerry Garcia, John Inman, Anne Murray, and Trout Fishing in America. 

There will be an instrument petting zoo in the lobby following the performance, to allow children to examine the orchestra’s instruments up close. 

FBSO’s children’s concerts are entertaining, with lots of audience participation.  It’s a wonderful way to spend an afternoon with the family, while fostering your children’s love of music.  No tickets are required for this free performance.
