Milwaukee, WI (September 17, 2025) — Festival City Symphony (FCS) invites families to kick off the 2025–26 Pajama Jamboree season with “Haunted Harmonies,” a free Halloween concert on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, from 7:00–8:00 p.m. at the Bradley Pavilion of the Marcus Performing Arts Center, 929 N Water Street in Milwaukee.

Designed especially for children in K4 through fifth grade but open to audiences of all ages, Pajama Jamborees are lively, one-hour pops concerts that make classical music fun, accessible, and interactive. With playful narration, colorful orchestral selections, and plenty of opportunities for audience engagement, these concerts have become a beloved Milwaukee tradition for families.

At “Haunted Harmonies,” young concertgoers (and their families) are encouraged to come in costume or pajamas, bring along teddy bears or blankets, and settle in for a magical evening. The program will feature spooky favorites and cinematic classics, including Danse Macabre, Night on Bald Mountain, music from Coco, Harry Potter, and more—guaranteed to cast a spell on both first-time listeners and seasoned concert fans.

“Pajama Jamborees are about more than just music,” said Brandon Yahn, Festival City Symphony’s Operations Director and Principal Horn player. “They’re about creating lasting memories for families, introducing children to the joy of live performance, and showing that classical music can be a fun, welcoming space.”
