About Milliken Auditorium Educational Performances

The Dennos Museum Center offers educational performance experiences that align with your performing arts appreciation curriculum.  Educational Performances vary by performer, but generally include short performances, interactive sections with singing, clapping or other activities, and some discussion of the genre of music or culture of the performers.

Educational performances take place in the Milliken Auditorium at the Dennos Museum Center and are approximately 50 minutes in length. All attendees of performances in the Milliken Auditorium are welcome to visit the Museum galleries to view exhibits before or after the workshop. Guided tours are available on a limited basis during these times due to the large number of students in the building.
