The Shively stop in the Louisville Orchestra and Louisville Free Public Library’s fourth season is a free public family program built around making instruments and musical storytelling.
All times are local to the venue · America/Kentucky/Louisville
At Shively, the music-making starts before the performance: participants make instruments, then join a program that combines storytelling with creative music.
The activity comes first, followed by the musical program. The season announcement says participants will make instruments from recycled materials to use during the performance, connecting the hands-on opening to the music rather than treating it as a separate craft.
For the Shively stop, the event listing names The Knowing as the story. The announced format weaves storytelling together with creative music making.

Other titles on the announced season lineup include Bear Snores On, Fly, Frog and Toad, and And Tango Makes Three. The range gives this Shively program a place in a broader run of story-based performances, without changing its specific focus on The Knowing.
