Music for kids


Do not fear, the Conejo Valley Youth Preparatory Orchestra comes in peace. The ensemble will present a pair of “Invasion from Outer Space” concerts at noon and 3 p.m. Sun., Oct. 29 in the Scherr Forum Theatre at Civic Arts Plaza, 2100 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd., T.O.

The Halloween-themed shows will expose young people to symphonic music in a light-hearted way. Kids can take part in a costume parade, play along with the orchestra, conduct and go trick-or-treating.

In the lobby from 1 to 3 p.m., kids can make Halloween crafts or visit an instrument petting zoo.
