Concord Music

Tim Seston performs original and familiar songs for an infant / toddler / pre-school & parent audience on Wednesday mornings at The Performing Arts Center at 51 Walden. Show includes interactive play in a casual "playgroup like" atmosphere. Since there are so many fun toys to play with, Tim had to write a song called "The Clean Up Train". He is amazed at how well kids, even under 2 years old, follow directions and pitch in. All are welcome for this free weekly drop-in performance. 9:00 - 9:45 AM. Sponsored in part by Concord Academy Summer Camp.
