Soak up the summer sun with a day of music, movement, and family-centered activities at The LeFrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park! The Brooklyn Conservatory of Music will help turn Lakeside into an interactive musical playground at its Family Music Festival, open to families and park-goers of all ages. Join us for three hours of musical adventures, with performances and mini instrument lessons led by BKCM faculty members and friends.

Performances on our two stages are completely free for kids and parents! We are also offering mini-instrument lessons in ukulele, bucket drumming and brass taught by BKCM faculty. Tickets for a mini-instrument lesson are $5 for one child + one adult, and will be available soon on the LeFrak Center’s site (or during the event itself).
